I am 26 year old man and I live in India. I am having pain in my upper back specially near my shoulder blades since at least 9 months. Pain disappeared on taking pain killers but reappeared immediately. Last month I went to an orthopedic who wrote down some tests whose results are ESR - 34 CRP - 17.2 And he concluded that I am suffering from PMR. But when I google it I found out that PMR is related to older people but I am only 26 year old. Is it possible that I am suffering from PMR even after being so young?

This is cervical pain (neck pain) and that's the reason the pain radiates until the shoulder blades. If you keep ice that would help and along side you can do hot water fermentation. You shall use cervical collar which would help you to reduce the radiating pain ie. Due to the nerve compression. This is due to the improper posture as while sitting in front of the computer and it leads to neck pain and thereby it leads to shoulder pain. It looks like you are anaemic. That's the reason your body becomes tired though you had good sleep during the night. The pain in the shoulder and back shows that your muscles become too tired especially in the area of the body where you get maximum body weight (ie. Back) and the shoulder which moves excessively during the day for any activity which we do with our hand. If the pain subsides after the day starts ie. Once your metabolic activity starts in the body then you become alright, so you can take bath in good warm water which would help you to break the tiredness. And also you can check with your calcium & vitamin levels in your body by consulting a general physician.
