Thoracic back pain
Having pain in my upper back due to gym injury since 15 days. During first 3-4 days I did not taken rest and I continued my exercise in gym. Then pain arise after few days and I assume it as muscle strain and taken rest for few days. I put some ice on it and taken anti inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxant and I got temporary relief But now I feel pain in my thoracic vertebrae when I touch it by my hand. Pain arise when I stand or work for long time. I taken proper rest for 10 days but pain is not going. It indicates that it may be a case of herniated-disc or Vertebral injury. Should I go to the orthopedic doctor for consultation or x-ray examination for proper treatment or I should wait and rest. Please advise me what to do to treat my back pain.
