Question 1

i have middle back pain right side below shoulder blade next to spine .also left side shoulde/neck pain up to back of skull. could the two be related?

Accepted Answer

Trapezius: You are describing the pattern and attachments of the trapezius muscle.  This may be a muscle strain or overuse injury.  If you are working out too much to heavy you may need a break.

Question 2

i have body pain, particularly mid torso, around my abs and middle back. pain even when not moving. feel feverish but don't have a temperature ?

Accepted Answer

Myalgia: is common in many illnesses particularly viral infections like influenza A or B. Get examined and use Advil or Aleve for body pain if not allergic, otherwise, Tylenol. Call for an appointment and flu testing.

Question 3

32 years old me has been suffering from acute upper and middle back pain which sometimes makes me immobile.this pain is so unbearable which feels like a cramp from neck to lower back. it gets worse if i am hungry. i also have crohns disease?

Accepted Answer

: One needs a better handle on the Back pain. Is it Nerve Entrapment due to pinched nerve? Muscle Spasm or Bone Degeneration/ Arthritis or Injury? The best management is usually based on knowing  the underlying cause. A visit with the PCP is where to start. For Crohn's disease one should stay close to the Gastroenterologist care.

Question 4

i have been having shoulder and middle back pain, arm and head tingling for a month. neck mri was negative. doctors refuse to have a thoracic x-ray done. they say is muscular. i'm scared. what to do?

Accepted Answer

Trust instinct: It is unlikely that the thoracic xray would provide additional information.  The key is a good physical exam by qualified neurologist, pain specialist or physical medicine/rehab specialist.  If treatment for an entrapment syndrome targeting tight muscles is successful, then they are right.  Be vigilant, you are in charge!

Question 5

had constipation probs over 15 years recently after having gallbladder removed became much worse & accompanied by middle back pain. had ct scan after surgery at the er because of constipation. showed no block but stool not moving. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

: One side effect of abdominal surgery is constipation which is exacerbated in your case. CT isn't a video so it can't tell your stool is moving or not but I think it shows significant stool material through out the colon. You just need to use laxative such as miralax OTC as needed until you have good bowel movement and then resuming your previously baseline regimen for tackling chronic constipation

Question 6

i have low and middle back pain in the morning followed by and relieved by multiple (sometimes as many as 5) bowel movements. ?

Accepted Answer

This sounds like: you have irritable bowel syndrome. You should see a health care provider and get checked out to be certain this is not from something more serious.

Question 7

my breast are tingly, middle back pain, and sore throat... flu like symptoms...achy body... please help...

Accepted Answer

Fluids and rest: throat culture is suggested to rule out Strep.  If symptoms persist seek medical evaluation.

Question 8

chest feels congested/sore, upper middle back pain, slightly stuffed nose, very little to no cough with no phlegm, throat doesn't feel sore, red eye ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: This isn't normal and your doctor will give you specific treatment after physically examining you. You may need to examine you for sinus or upper respiratory infection or symptoms to help you feel better. Rest and hydrate and reduce your high stress level. Avoid sugary sweets, processed foods, fried or non organic meats as well. Let your body and mind rest!

Question 9

started w/ lower back pain last wed. pain started moving up my back on fri. today i had all over back pain along with a stiff neck right side. why?

Accepted Answer

See a physician: This is an unusual description - not typical for routine back/neck pains, which typically stay within one part of the spine.  I would recommend that you see a physician for further evaluation, and consider workup for systemic conditions.

Question 10

what causes on and off spotting for 8 days. now 1 and 2 days past ovulation fever of 101.3 . headache and middle back pain on right side only?

Accepted Answer

Spotting: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections ;  hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do  a home pregnancy test .  There are many options to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit for headache.
