Hi there!
I'm new here. I have been dealing with the mid/upper back pain for nearly a year now.
Was diagnosed once for pleurisy took the antibiotics, it never went away. Decided to go to a chiropractor and he had said i popped a rib out and would need PT. Did that and nothing. Went back to my doctor and she sent me to a neck and back dr. who did nothing for me but send me back to PT which didn't work. i've settled on the fact that i'm crazy. It hurts to lay flat on my stomach or back.
I've finally decided to just deal. Until here recently when i've noticed that there's a bit of a popping when i take a deep breath. I sit up right in my chairs and have relatively decent posture.
I can't touch where it hurts and no one can rub it out it feels so deep.
does ANYONE have ANY insight?
Have you ever been thoroughly evaluated for a gallbladder issue? sometimes ultrasound alone will not "catch" gallstones or sludging in the gallbladder. It kind of has to be timed just right. There is something called a HIDA scan that you can ask your doctor about. If the pain is colicky, mostly on the right side, and radiates around your back and side, it could very well be gallbladder related. I almost always recommend to my patients, with any pain, to keep a symptom diary. That way you can see correlations between pain and things like foods you have eaten, activities, sleep, etc. (im a nurse btw)
Just in the past 2-3 days I have started to notice this pain when I swallow in my mid back just around the bra line area. No other pain exists except in this spot. It makes no since, just out of the blue. Only when I swallow and liquid or solid food. I don't remember pulling a muscle. Anyone have any recommendations....? Please...
Stumbled upon this thread...when doing some research concerning the "CHRONIC BACK PAIN" I've been experiencing for about 3-4 yrs now, was at the hospital sometime in Feb. this year, I was diagnosed for "ULCER", was told, the pain sometimes appears as if it's coming form the "MID BACK BONE" but it's not exactly coming from there, finished ulcer medications since Feb. this year,but nothing has changed, the pain persists, it gets noticeably severe anytime I notice, I Sat Up straight for a long while, without resting my back on some kinda support. pondering over the pains possible cause, really gives me the Creeps...WOULD BE MIGHTY THANKFUL,I'm 28 now,and remember battling with a "Liver Hepatitis B" problem. when I was about 21, hope it's got noting to do with the back pain I've been experiencing? If anyone here could give a helpful hint on what could be wrong with me.thanks in anticipation.

I have a very bad back pain between my spine and my side on the middle left side. It hurts very bad when I bend or move a certain way but is excruciating when I breathe very deep either in or out. I havent been to the doc yet, this has been goin on for a while but not so bad that I cant leave the house, like today and yesterday. Wonder what that is?
