why do i feel pain in my back when i inhale?

Question

I used to have asthma when I was a little kid. It went away after using my inhaler for a while. But now I think it came back. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Rib dislocation: Could be a rib dislocation or possibly costochondritis (inflammation of where the ribs and cartilage meet). I would recommend seeing a osteopathic physician to see if they can correct the rib issue. Many times they can place the rib back in proper alignment. Make sure you see a do that does manipulation as their main practice, they are the best.

Answer 2

Depends: If you are having pain in the mid back and/or rib cage area, you should contact your primary doctor. If the pain is severe or if you feel winded (cannot catch your breath), consider going to the nearest emergency room or urgent care center.

Answer 3

Evaluation: Could be your heart, arthritis, slipped disk, herniated disk, kidneys, etc.. Get checked by physician.

Answer 4

Kidney : Multiple causes- kidney cyst, abscess around kidney, trauma and hematoma; also be due to non -kidney causes- muscle, ribs, if on right side liver abscess. List is extensive and may be overwhelming and so if pain is constant, severe, or getting worse need to check with your doctor.

Answer 5

Kidney area pain: Kidney pain would occur 24h/d no matter what you do. So you do not have kidney problem. You may not have "back muscle pain" which occur also all day and mainly relieved when resting and not aggravated in your case. Your problem thus is not deep rooted but more superficial skin related. Any swelling there? Redness? Any family member can look for you?...Neighbor? How long ago?...

Answer 6

Maybe: It depends on how long it has been there. Does the pain go down your leg? I would start with rest and moist heat. If it persists more than a few days see your pcp. Nsaids and muscle relaxers may be all that you need.

Answer 7

Depends: Depends on severity and duration. We all have pains due to strains and sprains. However if low back pain continues and gets worse it can be related to more serious conditions, such as facet joint arthritis, disc herniation or may arise from other sources, for instance the kidney stones.

Answer 8

Many things: This problem mandates a real-time (face-to-face) meeting with a doctor. A history has to be taken along with a examination as well as labs and other tests. Only after all this will your doctor be in a position to tell you what's wrong and what needs to be done to help you.

Answer 9

Many things: As.Above. If persits you may need x-ray or even MRI of the back.
