Pressure on a nerve in the mid-to-upper back may cause severe localized pain. It may also cause problems that you may not initially recognize, such as gall bladder symptoms and heart burn, as well as pain that shoots down the arm. Your internal organs cannot tell you that they hurt in the same way that the outside of your body does. Often we treat symptoms such as heartburn with antacids with no long lasting effect, because the underlying problem is not being addressed (the pinched nerve).
