i get a pain in the middle of my back just below shoulders it also hurts when i burp been doing a lot more of that too any ideas to what might cause it
 
Does it ever hurt the same way when you don't do that? It's certainly possible i woud think that the mechanical actions of swallowing could pull on the cervical vertebrae. On the other hand, acid reflux and other similar ailments can cause lots of weird pains in places you wouldn't think would hurt. It might be a lot easier (and cheaper) to investigate that idea before assuming it's something wrong with your back - especially if you haven't had back/neck problems before.

Let us know how things are going,

thanks for your ideas on my problem over the last couple of days the problem seems to have cured itself but i do have problems with my neck and have had to wear a collar on the odd occasion so perhaps they are connected .If the pain keeps coming back i will see my doc.fingers crossed that it doesnt.
