  23. Hello there just stumbled upon your blog from Bing after I entered in, "Blogger: BEST HEALTHY DIARY" or perhaps something similar (can't quite remember exactly). Anyhow, I'm relieved I found it because your subject material is exactly

    I gather some material from here and I will of course credit you as the source.
    Thank you very much.

  28. Upper back pain is the pain between the lower back and the neck. Upper back is also called the thoracic back as this is part of the back where the ribs attach. Upper related back pain is the result of injury to the ligament or muscles attached to the vertebrae. It can be the result of poor posture, overuse, twisting motion, or an injury. The upper back is commonly injured while carrying objects, bending, throwing, or twisting.
