I just hurt myself sneezing.
I've pulled my lower back a couple of times doing heavy lifting. But I've never hurt my upper back before.

For the people who've had upper back problems, let me ask you something. Are the spasms supposed to hurt so bad that the pain radiates through your ribcage and into your sternum? Or is that unusual?

I suppose I should eventually see a doctor. But I'm not getting out of this chair anytime soon. Thank God there's a vending machine within wheeling distance, otherwise I might starve.

1. I have problems with my upper back
and the pain radiates around to my sternum. Also it goes down my right arm sometimes as well. Get thee to a chiropractor soon, and good luck!

2. One piece of advice, never sneeze and fart at the same time....
...there is no telling what could happen.

4. I saw that happen once.
At a barber shop. Some kid was getting his hair cut and he farted, sneezed, and burped (!) all at the same time. I was surprised the hell out of everybody.

5. Now, was that in chili country, like in Texas....
...because in Texas they can get away with that. Anywhere else and you will have Hershey Squirts or throw up for sure!:puke:

3. you might have a herniated disk
That's not good. You should probably see your doctor ASAP. :-)
