throbbing, burning sensation in mid-back (right-side)

by Noura80, Jul 23, 2005 12:00AM
I've been having this throbbing, burning sensation in my mid-back (right-side) for a few months now. I went to a physician and descibed it as inflamation (inflammation) of the muscle. He perscribed a medicine and gave me a few exercise moves to help ease the pain. None helped. The pain is not excruciating but annoying. It went away for a few weeks and now it's back along with a numbness of my left arm. I can still use it but it feels heavy. Can you help me?

Hi You need to see a neurologist or ortopedic doctor.It sounds like you might have a pinched nerve in your back.The doctor will do some test on your back,may be x-ray's and a mri.You need to make an appointment on Monday to see another doctor.Take Care TNT406.

I have the exact same problem. I'm 30 years old but have had that back thing going on for about a year now. Except for the arm problem. I too wonder what it could be besides very annoying.

Hello, I have recently scince about two month now experiencing a pain i the mid back area but the pain is usualy coming from the spine it self as i can feel it, i even some times can sleep on my back or my side or even on my stomach as i still feel the pain it like some one stabbing you with a knife in the mid of your spine, i have visited the doctor suggested i go to a osteopath but didnt work and the pay keeps coming back and increasing, i want a suggestion if possible and if you can diagnose this situation, i have taken recently an xray which was clear.

Chiropractic along with trigger point massage therapy might help. The massage is extremely important. trigger points can cause referred pain anywhere on your body.

Hi,

I have been researching back pain recently, adn this site came up.
I just wanted to let you know that the most recent entry (other than yours), is over 4 years old, so you probably won't get any responses. I have heard though, that it can be hiatal hernia, but I don't know any more about them.
Good luck
