Upper back pain
I have upper back pain from past 6 months and it increases in night after 2 hours sleep. The pain is sometimes in center and sometimes shoulder plates,below shoulder plates, or close to rib 7. It becomes acute and dont allow even to sleep. In morning it takes 2 to 3 hours to get into work. I have shown to orthopedic doctors but it works till I on medication and will start again as soon as I stop taking medicine. Sometimes pain is also felt in chest specially left side. I am not able to do exercise with this pain. Dont know how to go ahead.

As your pain is not improving after medication, you need to be evaluated in detail with workup for arthritis and mri of the spine.
Also do consult with a physician to rule out any cardiac cause of the pain
