I read your query and understand your concern.

Simple musculoskeletal back pain is often associated with poor posture, commonly linked to prolonged work computer use or muscle strain from excessive exercise or physical labor. To better assist with the management of your upper back and shoulder pain, kindly provide more information.

1. What has triggered your upper back and shoulder pain?
2. Do you have a history of previous shoulder or neck injuries? For example, certain activities like spin bowling in cricket can lead to shoulder pain, while prolonged poor posture at work, especially in front of a computer, may result in upper back and neck pain.
3. Do you have scoliosis?
4. Is there any associated headache?
5. What medications have you been taking? Please specify the type, dose, duration, and their effects.
6. Could you share details about your occupation?
7. Do you engage in regular exercise or use a gym?
8. Are you allergic to anything?
9. What regular medications and medicinal herbs do you take?
10. Could you provide a brief medical history?
