What could cause pain in the upper right back for several years which worsens even when the person is in ideal position?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. According to your symptoms, it looks like muscular pain which could be due to many reasons for example improper posture while sitting or standing, excessive bending down your back, sports injuries, etc. But to be sure that it is due to muscle spasms, I suggest you undergo investigations including serum calcium and vitamin D levels, ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), or CRP (C-reactive protein). If all these tests are normal then I suggest you improve your posture and start exercising but not intense ones.

Hello, I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries. I understand your concern. The symptoms you have described suggest dyspepsia or gastritis.
