A member asked:

I have gerd. right now my middle back hurts when i breathe in deeply. i had a kidney stone almost a year ago. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more testing.: Pain radiating through to the back with a history of gerd can occur. However, pancreatitis and other inflamatory problems can also cause this. The increase with deep breaths can also be from other inflamatory problems including those from the lungs or heart (even the coverings of both). Kidney stone usually result in flank, abdominal or testicular pains one one side or the other... Rarely both.
