A member asked:

The left side of my back (middle) has a sharp pain.. i can't breath in deep or suck in my stomach as well as turn or anything.. should i see the dr?

Yes: if you are short of breath you should seek attention. It may just be pleurisy or a back spasm (muscle issue) but it may be multiple other things that need to be ruled out.
