Quite regularly, my upper back aches. Sometimes I notice that my back starts to ache after I eat a meal, but I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence. Although it can affect both sides, it tends to ache on the upper left side. Sometimes I'll also get arm ache, in the arm that is on the same side as the pain. Less frequently, I experience a little bit of tingling, but it normally doesn't last very long. My chest does not normally feel tight. I know I had anxiety, which was partially caused by candida overgrowth in my system. Although I've been trying to get the candida under control for the past 5 months, sometimes I will get the symptoms again. Generally, my muscles feel quite tired. When I lightly press on them, they hurt. All of these symptoms also seem to be more frequent a week before I get my period. I'm 25 years old and a student, so I spend a lot of my time hunched over a laptop and need to watch my posture. Any feedback on possible causes and treatment is appreciated!

In response to the Dr., I recently lost 30lbs because I stopped eating sugars and bread and pasta. Right now I'm about 147lbs., but a size 7/9. I'm 5'5 but I'm quite muscular. Thanks for you response.
