Question 1

i have had an itchy, sore, bumpy red rash on my mid back area, below my bra line. i've had the rash for over a week. any idea what the cause could be?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Rashes can be hard to figure out without looking at them. A rash can happen sometimes if a person's body is reacting to a germ causing viral or bacterial symptoms. Allergy to any of a variety of substances can create rashes. Little blisters can be viral, bacterial, or contact dermatitis. A tender rash of tiny blisters or bumps in one section of an adult's body may be SHINGLES. Doctor can check.

Question 2

Send a photo : This could be a number of things and a photo might help differentiate among the possibilities

Question 3

last night i started getting a constant itch side of my right ribs underneath my arm pit and it goes into my shoulder blade to mid back. now burning aching pain. had shingles in 2016 by that area, but i don't have a rash now? not sure what else it is?

Accepted Answer

: It is very common that shingles will start with an itch or  "burning" pain and then the rash develops a few days later.  The rash will usually follow one section of skin, called a dermatome.  See your doctor for medication.  Here is an article for additional information: https://www.healthline.com/health/shingles#seeking-medical-help

Question 4

pea size lump under skin on mid back to left.it stings and causin burning pain round into breast&down arm.doc said shingles 2 week ago but no rash?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis: This may be a neuroma, might be shingles, or several other possibilities. Would need to see it in order to diagnose. Suggest that if you are not confident in the doctor's diagnosis that you get a second opinion.

Question 5

what would be causing severe stomach pain with mid back pain,abdominal pain and tenderness on both sides? i also have cramping in my pelvic region. i am also having symptoms tied to lupus including butterfly rash on face. i have no insurance?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Contact your local medical school to find out if they have a clinic for uninsured patients.   
Wish you good health!

Question 6

lymphedema? bilateral symmetrical swelling of the mid-back. non-pitting, soft , no pain, no swollen nodes sudden onset, slight less swollen post 1 wk

Accepted Answer

Not lymphedema!: The fact that it is regressing is assuring.  Muscle spasm can cause this, but you have no pain.  Can't answer your problem.  But it does seem benign.  See your pcp if it persists.

Question 7

thoracic disc bulge flattening and deforming cord. sharp pain and tingling mid back with bilateral rib cage pain.

Accepted Answer

May be related but: This may be related  but  thisdepends on the type of pain and your  evaluation by  your phyusician

Question 8

could fibro concentrate just in the upper shoulders and the mid back?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Fibromyalgia pain is typically more diffuse and symetric..Meaning equally on both sides of the body. If it is just your shoulders/upper back areas are involved, it is more likely to be muscle strain etc...It can be relatively determined by a physical exam from your doc...

Question 9

pain left rib cage goes around to the mid back?

Accepted Answer

Could be rib problem: I see this problem very commonly in my osteopathic manipulative medicine practice. Ribs normally move up & down with respiration & are quite flexible. Sometimes, the rib gets 'stuck' losing both its ability to move & its flexibility. Some serious health problems can cause this, but usually it is just a tight muscle or ligament & can be easily fixed with osteopathic manipulation.

Question 10

what can cause pain radiating from:mid back to abdomen?

Accepted Answer

A few things: Pancreas, gall bladder, stomach or duodenal ulcer, disk herniation and nerve compression in the spine or nerve compression by slipped rib which can happen after violent coughing or unskilled golf swings.
