Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Abdominal pain: There are other many reasons to have stomach pain that radiate to the back. If you are pain has magnified to 10/10 you will need to have urgent formal evaluation to rule gallstone disease, ulcers, appendicitis, abscesses, pancreatitis, etc. Please don't wait because some of these can be life threatening.
