Question 1

i am having pain and burning in both sides of torso it gets so bad it takes my breath away and its constant ?

Accepted Answer

See your physician!!: Your symptom is not common and I would be concerned that you could have a disorder affecting the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. You need a careful evaluation, lab tests and possible imaging studies and referral to a neurologist. I would not waste time looking for additional answers on the internet because it will be unhelpful and only serve to further frighten you. See your physician ASAP.

Question 2

what would cause me to feel numbness on only my right upper torso including both sides of my chest and upper and lower back?

Accepted Answer

See your neurologist: These symptoms sometimes might be seen with the conditions involving central nervous system.
You might benefit from seeing a neurologist.

Question 3

for the past couple of days my rib cage on both sides have been very painful. it hurts to cough, sneeze and even move my torso?

Accepted Answer

Costochondritis: Treatment consists of local heat, analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or local steroid injections. These usually relieve symptoms. Most often the pain subsides after a few weeks or months but swelling may remain for a longer period of time. Good luck.

Question 4

i have neuralgia on both sides of my torso and i have had swollen lymph nodes all along the left side of my neck for weeks. i am not sick. related?

Accepted Answer

Not related: Neuralgia, neuropathic pain are not related to lymph nodes. Lymph nodes help your recognize and fight infections and they are important part of your immune system. Swollen lymph nodes usually caused by infection, inflammation, autoimmune disorders or neoplasm. Rec.: see your physician for lymph nodes evaluation, tests and treatment (if needed).

Question 5

i've a rash that looks like insect bites (around 70) mainly on my torso (both sides). feels like bruises, very tender, aching under them. any ideas?!

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: That would be a huge amount of insect bites and you would have noticed them long before 70 occurred. Tenderness and aching are also unusual features. I recommend a consultation with a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. A viral illness like pityriasis rosea could be present.

Question 6

i have a pain in my side at the top of my torso?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Depending on the exact location of the pain it could be due to:
- muscular pain
- kidney infection or other ailment
- lung ailment
If you have not had the pain for long consider using an anti-inflammatory medication like mypaid. If the pain persists see a dr

Question 7

i have pneumonia, and this caused a pain in my left side (lower torso), i moved a little suddenly today now the pain is worse, should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Xray: You should obtain a chest xray to determine if the pnemonia is worsening or if you are experiencing pain from pleritis, an inflammation of the sac around the lungs.

Question 8

the last 2 wks i have had a feeling of a cut or scratch on my left side of my front torso. there is no scratch or cut there. what cld this be?

Accepted Answer

Sensation: If there is no sign of inflammation or irritation, this sensation most likely is caused by an irritable or slightly inflamed superficial nerve(possibly related to your MS) in that area of your torso. This may eventually resolve without any treatment. See your physician or neurologist as needed.

Question 9

injuredy shoulder doing flys 7 years ago. cant fully flex right side of torso. didnt let it fully heal. hurts after heavy bench pressing. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Pec injury?: Your symptoms suggest an injury to the pec major muscle. Injuries to the musculotendinous portion of the sternal 'head' of the muscle are common. ( where the muscle becomes tendon like). Complete ruptures of the pec major tendon are usually obvious and lead to a visible deformity( the lower portion of the 'axillary fold is disrupted).These require surgery commonly. See an upper extremity ors. Gl!

Question 10

i have a swollen middle back on the left side with dull pain when twisting torso. started a couple weeks ago after beginning a lot of bike riding a few times a week. possible biking is related to it? other causes?

Accepted Answer

Imaging: An imaging test is recommended due to the swelling. Place a heating pad on the affected area and use Motrin for pain relief. A back specialist may be able to help.
