A member asked:

Hi, i have been having sharp pain at the back when turning on any side. along with this i have a bit of nausea with a bit of light headedness. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam needed: Sharp back pain on motion usually comes from bone, muscle or pinched nerve. Nausea and lightheadedness are nonspecific symptoms. More history and physical examination would be needed to pinpoint the problem.
