Back pain.
I am having back pain in the upper half of the body. I have been having this for a very long time. I have also tried doing many exercises but i oly have temporary relief out of it. Is there any solution for this ? And do I need to get any medical tests done ?

Back pain in upper half for long duration should not be ignored. This needs further evaluation with blood tests and X-ray, if needed MRI. If significant issues are ruled out then you can be treated with exercises.
