: For the past week now, I have been experiencing back pain around my upper back, shoulder blade and neck. It feels like someone took a 2X4 and hit me on the back. I thought it was the way I slept. So I ignored it. But now, Im realizing that the only time, the pain is severe is when I get up from lying down . When im standing up, it doesn't feel that bad. I have tried to sleep in in different positions, positioning the pillow a certain way, but it hasn't help. Do you think this may be something serious. It didn't bother me before, but now i am experiencing it. I haven't changed bed or anything, it just occurred all of a sudden.
