question: I know someone who has excruciating upper/middle back pain. It is very stressful for them and I think it is just giving them more back pain. They take Tylenol but I don t think that really helps. They use cupping therapy at home. I don t know if this pain is serious or the person should be taken into the doctor. I know my friend very well and I can tell it s really hurting them. Sometimes they say that their arms hurt too. Please tell me your take on the matter. Thank you.
