Coughing/Upper back pain
by nana124, Mar 29, 2008 10:54PM
Hi,
For the last couple months I've been sick off/on w/a URI..........I've had 2 rounds w/zithromax, now on Augmentin since last Sunday. This past Friday saw the doctor and received a low dose of steroids (shot) as I do not tolerate steroids well. Coughing continues - also taking Cheratussin. Since this morning have developed pain in between my shoulder blades upper back. Could this be cause by coughing? Very painful. Don't know if I should go to ER or wait till AM to contact physician. Thanks.

I also had upper back pain between shoulders for at least 2 months. Tired pulling dull ache, especially after standing ten or more minutes. Don't know what that was, BUT since taking Nexium for hiatal hernia that was found last week on my CT scan along with the lung nodule the pain has ceased but not gone completely. When I eat certain things it comes back full force. I also have asthma and just finished taking a weeks worth of prednisone, that might have helped the pain also. Hope this helps a little.
