Upper back and lower back

2017-06-01 17:49:08
I have been facing back issues since 2 years I had severe lower back issue right side 2 yrs back which got cured with physio and medicines at that time..after that occassionally I used to have pain. From 6 months I have upper back pain during mid night after sleeping. Sometimes it is so much that I am unable to sleep for an hour or so. I had x ray done but doctors couldn't find anything. When they gave mcam medicine I felt no pain on lower or upper back but when I am not on medicine then pain comes back again to haunt me. Doctors are telling to get MRI done for upper back. But my issue not restricted to upper back as when I am not medicine even my lower back pain sometimes on left and sometimes on right side. I am highly confused as MRI cost is more and if I take MRI for entire back I don't know how much it will cost. I want to have a second opinion if I am not suffering from some.bone or muscle related issue because pain is not restricted to a specific area. please suggest.
