Dr. Li Man
Right upper back soreness and pain may be caused by angina pectoris or muscle strain. If a patient experiences persistent right upper back discomfort, it is recommended to seek immediate medical evaluation, complete relevant examinations, and receive targeted treatment based on the confirmed underlying cause. During treatment, patients should avoid excessive fatigue and maintain a positive mood, both of which are beneficial for recovery.
