Hello! I have been having this weird pain in the right side of my upper back (see photo for approximate location) for about a month, and nothing quite seems to help it. most of the time it just feels like an ache/pulled muscle, but it seems to get worse when i am laying on my back and try to bring my chest/shoulders forward, and when i take deep breaths. it feels like i need to crack my back, but i can’t. when i am pressing down on the approximate area i also can’t seem to pinpoint exactly where it hurts, but i can feel it hurting otherwise if that makes sense? almost as if it is within or behind my ribs.
i have been to the chiropractor a couple times, and it has not seemed to have helped. i am mostly just concerned because of how long this has been going on for it to be a pulled muscle like i originally thought, but i am leaning away from it being a lung issue as it feels like it is inside of/in between my ribs (though i guess it could be anyways). i have been freaking myself out over it for the past little bit, and google keeps suggesting lung cancer, which i feel is definitely inaccurate. any ideas? thank you!!

context: f19, 135lbs/5’3, medications: birth control, occasionally vape but no cigarettes, no previous/current known medical issues aside from acid reflux.

i was going through boxes of stuff i haven’t looked through in years, and came across all of these.. for some reason i can’t find the actual singing tooth brushes that the heads went on, but i did have two way back when!! sometimes i’m grateful that i never throw things away lol

INCREDIBLE facebook marketplace find by me (and it was only $10!!). i actually did go to the tour, but i was 6 at the time, so none of the merch would’ve fit me back then lol. soooo grateful to have found merch, 14 years later, in a size that fits me, especially for that price! looks like i’ve found part of my outfit for the (possible) swag tour!! eek
