For like a week I've been getting this burning pain on my upper left/middle back... it get's aggrivated at random times and the skin on that area is very sensitive to touch.... like my skin feels like it was burned... but there is no reddness or anything visual. The pain gets so bad the it feels like a cold burning...(if thet makes any sense).. ihave an apt. to go see my doc but it's not until Oct. 31... and it's affecting me @ work... it hurts even to just be sitting still sometimes... it's like the buring raidiates from my muscles to my skin.. it's sooo weird.... Anyone know what's going on with me?

Please go to the emergency department, you may just have a sprained muscle there but it may also be the beginnings of SHINGLES, the adult form of chicken pox. It lay dorment in the spine until the body suffers stress and then it presents as you described it.
They can begin you on the Acyclovir to stop this terrible thing. It only gets worse, so please dont wait until the end of the month, go now.

The only thing that I can suggest is that you see a chiropractor for your back!
