Severe back pain: Anytime i hear severe, i would suggest a physician evaluate. Regarding the location, pain upper left (near shoulder blade) can suggest muscle spasm/tendinitis of shoulder, thoracic spine/disk problem, lung/heart disease, stomach/pancreas/spenic disorder.

Upper back pain: Pain in that region, if it's not from a recent strain or injury, is often due to nerve impingement from a bulging intervertebral disc or an arthritic spur pressing on a nerve root exiting from a vertebra.

Accepted Answer

: Your symptoms may not necessarily be due to gas itself, but may be due to being overly full and perhaps having acid reflux. You may want to take a short trial of acid reducing medication for one to two weeks to see if it helps. If it does not, you should make an appointment to see your doctor or a gastroenterologist if the symptoms are persisting. Good luck.
