I'm feeling some pain in my upper back and upper abdominal on the left side. It just started all of a sudden yesterday, and I notice it mostly when I'm moving around, picking up things, or even just laying down. I'm a bit worried about what could be causing this. Could it be something serious?

It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain or possibly an issue with the organs in that area, such as the spleen or stomach. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to get it checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. Rest, gentle stretching, and avoiding heavy lifting might help in the meantime.
