Hi,
For about 3 Months now, I have had this pain around the mid back ( around the Diaphragn- just below the ribs- on both sides but more pronounced on the right ).
The pain comes on after I have been sleeping for more that 6-7 hours. When I get up ,the pain gradually subsides and later on during the day it is almost gone (although not completly).
I would describe the pain as a dull ache but the pain sharpens and gets worse when I twist my torso or flip from one side to another when I have been in bed for longer than 6-7 Hrs.
I don't seem to have any tenderness upon touching the area though.
Because of this pain, I cannot lie in bed for longer than 7 Hrs.
The only other unusual symptom I have noticed is excessive burping so much that sometimes it makes me feel nauseous.
I don't know if this excessive burping has anything to do with the pain I described above but I seem to have developped it around the same time as the back pain.( Although I am not 100% sure of that either)... I read somewhere that digestive problems can sometimes cause pain in the Back...
FYI,I am a 38 old male,overwheight but otherwise healthy ( or so I think)
I haven't been to a Dr yet because I am just too nervous.
Has anybody ever experienced similar symptoms ?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Regards.
