Your Mom needs a good exam and possibly an EKG and Xray spine. Stay away from MDs who speculate.

Chest pains & back pains are 2 very common symptoms for which internists have to evaluate & advise patients. We have to take a thorough history& system review,perform a careful physical examination& then order appropriate tests to make a differential diagnosis. We may refer the patient to a specialist such as a cardiologist or orthopedic specialist depending. upon.our findings.Consult an internist
