Brief Answer:
Likely to be musculoskeletal pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms
Presence of pain which is severe and on one side of back could be either due to
1. Herpes Zoster Pre-eruption neuralgia
0r
2. Musculosketal pain usually due to muscle spasm
I assume there is no radiation of pain in thigh or weakness while walking
It would be very helpful if you could provide me clinical photograph for further evaluation of eruptions over chest and back
In the meantime I would suggest you the following
1. Bed rest
2. Hot water fomentation to affected area of pain either by using hot water bag or cloth soaked in hot water
3. Analgesics like Ibuprofen will be helpful along with skeletal muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone will be helpful
Awaiting your further response
Take Care
