Question 1

very strong pain in left side of abdomen goes to back.hurt s when i take deep breath?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal pain: Could indicate a problem with stomach or intestine but may be an indication of pleurisy or inflammation of lung. Could also be a kidney problem such as a stone. See your doctor!

Question 2

why does my upper abdomen and back hurt. it seems like my back pain is right across from the upper abdomen pain. it's goes and comes back. pls help?

Accepted Answer

Thoracic and lumbar : You might have upper lumbar-lower thoracic radiculopathy. It could be herniated disc, spur formation, arthritis.

Question 3

my husband says his lower lungs in his back hurt, and the lower middle abdomen, he has diareah, and has been vomitting on and off, what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Many possiblities: The symptoms you describe above could be attributable to something as simple as a viral illness or something more serious.  Its best to see a doctor in person for a proper evaluation.

Question 4

why does my upper abdomen and upper back hurt?

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: Anatomically, the upper abdomen includes: spleen, pancreas, stomach, descending duodenum, mid colon & flexures, associated vessels & aorta, liver, gallbladder, biliary tree. Don't forget the diaphragm, heart, & lower chest are pretty close by. Many of these organs & areas "refer" pain to the back. An exam is appropriate for clarity of diagnosis & treatment--please see your doctor next.

Question 5

the left of my abdomen hurts, i have mild back pain, and my body seems tired. what could this be? is it serious, or could it be just fatigue?

Accepted Answer

Likely not serious. : The symptoms you are describing could be anything, more information would be needed. It could be a simple viral infection or it could due to kidney stones. It would worth it to have an exam done by a doctor.

Question 6

i have deverticulusis.  i always feel  like a fist is in  my abdomen. lots  of  pain and bloating.  why does back  hurt, stomach getting  so big?

Accepted Answer

May not be diverticu: Diverticulosis means pockets in wall of the colon; generally no symptoms. 1 or 2 in 10 patients may have complication-bleeding and/or inflammation/infection (diverticulitis). Uncommonly severe diverticulosis can cause ongoing symptoms. You may have any of a number of causes , some not serious, some can be.  Call your doc.

Question 7

do i have hiv. my lower abdomen hurts and i have lower back pain all the time?

Accepted Answer

Not by given info.: HIV can only be definitively diagnosed by  immunospecific testing and serum assays. The symptoms you present could be present in many many different conditions. Do you have risk factors for contracting HIV?

Question 8

lower back pain just above left buttock and hurts to arch back and then hurts around the side to the low left front abdomen area. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to tell: Without physical exam, but it sounds like it could be facet arthopathy/arthritis. This can often be felt in the back on one side often with radiation around to the side of the flank or feel like a sharp stabbing pain from the back forward. You also have had a c-section, which could lead to different fascial strains or muscular issues that could produce this. I would recommend a good physical exam.

Question 9

i have been diagnosed with sphincter of oddi dysfunction which is painful in the abdomen area, what alternatives do i have to treat my back pain besides chiropractic which hurts it?

Accepted Answer

SOD: The answer really depends on details--mostly your labs and the size of your bile duct.  Especially if you have Type I or II SOD, a gastroenterologist with special training in this area will likely be able to help. There is no proven role for chiropractic care for treatment of SOD. You should talk to your GI doc in more detail, and consider a 2nd opinion at a center specializing in SOD.  Good luck.

Question 10

i had pains in my upper abdomen, i took omniflux. but then lately when this pain comes i've noticed that the sides on my back hurt,that i can't stand or sit up straight. last night, it was even worse it felt like my spinal cord was cracking. help!?

Accepted Answer

Kidney stones?: This sounds like you could be passing a kidney stone. Please go see a doctor in person. Usually stones will pass with no medical intervention, but there ARE treatments to help.
P.S. Am a psychiatrist but did my big pathology project in medical school on kidney stones so I am bizarrely knowledgeable in this area outside of my specialty.
