Question 1

intense back spasms off and on for 2 wks in the mid-back in muscles that run along spine. hurts to breathe, lift arms, laying on sides. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Persistent spasm: There can be many causes for this type of symptom.   If you lifted a very heavy object, were playing contact sports, or were involved in a motor vehicle collision, this could be due to a vertebral compression fracture or rib fracture.  If you have no history of trauma, then muscle spasm is more likely.  If short of breath, this could be pulmonary embolus.  You should be examined by a doctor.

Question 2

Pain rt side midback: We do need more history, like if there is radiation of pain towards groin or any where else, if you have any difficulty in urination or blood in the urine.If the pain is worse on movements and intensity of pain
but the first thing comes to my mind with pain in this area is kidney pain, or it can be just muscular pain.So consult your doctor to find out what it is and get treated.

Back pain is : Very common.  The best thing you can do is to stay as active as possible – even if you are in pain. People with low back pain recover faster if they stay active. Walk as much as you can. If you stopped working because of your pain, try to get back to your normal routine soon. But do not overdo it. You can try using ibuprofen or any over the counter pain relief. See your doctor if you don’t improve

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Anything: Most people think their whole abdomen is their stomach, but the stomach is in the upper middle or upper left of the abdomen.  If your lower abdomen hurts, that could be your skin, muscles, bladder, uterus, or intestines. If the upper part of your abdomen hurts, it could be acid reflux, pancreatitis, or other problems. See a doctor for an assessment.

Accepted Answer

Be Alert/check up?: Any pain like you have requires close monitoring and watch to see if it is settling down on its own or progressing. If it is  not better in 2-3 weeks, you should seek medical check up and find the cause. A physical exam and urine check should be the first step, followed by a CT scan of the abdomen if indicated based on findings on physical check up by your doctor.

Probable bronchitis: with possible pleuritis ( Pleurisy) or pain from irritation of the intercostal  nerves between your ribs. I suggest a medical exam and possible x-ray.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Back pain: Can be many things in that area including a muscle spasm, pinched nerve or even a kidney stone or urinary tract issue. Depending on what brought it on should help answer that. Trying an anti inflammatory and some heat may help if its muscular related. If it persists or gets worse then go and get evaluated.
