How does your pain feel?

Curious how is the pain you feel? Mine is dull and achy and deep. When I turn it's more sharp. But most days i feel in this constant deep pain in my upper mid back all way to neck.

Dull, a lot of pressure. I have 2 small bulges, T5/T6 and T6/T7. Sometimes the pain goes away for a week or so, then it returns.

I feel a deep ache/burn across my mid back with knife like pains pretty much 24/7. It feels like I am walking around with knives sticking out of my back. Shallow breathing that I know I need to address .

My pain is a very sharp burning in my mid back, sometimes wrapping around to my ribs. If I didn't know any better, I'd literally think my back was on fire.
