Get it checked out. I ignored it thinking the pain was muscular, it wasn’t !

I also had upper back pain prior to diagnosis. That's not to say all upper back pain is sinister.

I didn’t suggest it was, I just think it’s worth checking out regardless of outcome. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing

I agree. My comment was for the original poster, just to say not to get too worried 🙂

I would suggest you see your doctor and insist on an endoscopy. That way you will not be left wondering.

They arsed around with my symptoms for three years ans by the time I finally had an endoscopy I had a golf ball tumour on my junction. Better safe than sorry.
