Question 1

Had total colorectal removal 10 yrs ago.
last 9 months been anaemic with pain left side of abdomen which goes through my hip and lower back, front leg?

Accepted Answer

Follow up with doctor this week. Would consider CT of abdomen/pelvis to ensure no cancer, check renal function as that can cause anemia as well. Did you have inflammatory bowel because if that recurrs in small intestine or ileum can cause  anemia( though usuallyright side). Also consider hip films to check for arthritis.

Question 2

Sharp pain, left side of back, mid section. pain is getting worse. no paineds taken yet. could it be a pinched  nerve?

Accepted Answer

can be caused by nerve being sandwiched between two spinal bones in the neck area. It can cause muscle spasm and pain in the neck. This condition must be professionally managed. See an interventional pain management specialist for definitive diagnosis and management.

Question 3

Stabbing pain left side of my back just under the shoulder blade only when i lay down ?

Accepted Answer

"stabbing" pain sounds pretty severe. So, my threshold for asking you to see an md is  low. That said, structures around/near the area you describe are: muscles (small, easy-to-injure ones), bone, small ligaments, lung (pain "referred" to the surface from deeper structures), blood vessels (unlikely pain source), and nerves (originating from the neck area and innervating muscles you describe).

Question 4

Sharp pain left side back mid back under shoulder blade?

Accepted Answer

There are many things that can give you those symptoms. When do you get pain? What type? How long does it last? Anything make it better? Anything make it worse? Does food affect the pain? Have you had any surgery ? How long has it been there? Have you tried any medications? Did they work? Did you injure yourself? Pulled muscle etc? Has anyone done any studies? Worse with stress?

Question 5

Upper chest pain left side and back. short of breath walking and layin. been to er many times as well as gp. no one seems concerned what could it be?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms if persistent needs work up specifically with a chest xray and an echocardiogram.

Question 6

After eating, i experience left side abdominal pain, left side back pain, and severe headches. any ideas of the cause?

Accepted Answer

The most common causes of stomach pain in otherwise healthy adults are not usually serious.  You should see your doctor for further testing if you have any of the following symptoms: severe or extre pain, vomiting that will not stop, vomiting blood, if you are losing weight or have no appetite, if you have dark-colored stool or blood in your stool or if you have pain or difficulty with swallowing

Question 7

What could cause pain left side of chest and back?

Accepted Answer

Heart attack (although very unlikely in a 34 year old), pancreatitis, stomach ulcers, infections, hernias, and muscle spams could all cause the symptoms you described.

Question 8

Please help! i'm having pain left side of chest and back?

Accepted Answer

Age atypical for acute coronary syndrome BUT must have more information about family history and risk factors. Also need to consider the accompanying back pain as well. Rare but life threatening conditions need to be ruled out include an aneurysm rupture/dissection. Also need to consider unusual conditions such as spontaneous pneumothorax. I would like information about recent exertion.

Question 9

I am having back pain left side under ribswhat can this be?

Accepted Answer

Need more information about pain type and aggravating factors. Hope you feel better soon.

Question 10

I have got upper back pain left side what's the problem?

Accepted Answer

Could be several things: muscle spasm, kidney disease, kidney disorder, lung, ribs, spine.. An exam and a conversation will help narrow the field of causes.
