What Causes Mid Back And Mid Front Pain?
Question: Can Gastroenteritis cause mid back and mid front pain? Only when I move in certain directions. How long can this last? I am also feeling out of it and have had no diarrhea for a few days (5 or so). Would a kidney stone cause your entire mid back to ache including your mid front, only when you move? I had kidney stone in the past and I do not recall this. I remember it being more localized.
Brief Answer:
Not due to kidney stone.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Gastroenteritis and mild gastritis can cause the mid back and front pain. If the pain is associated with certain movements then it can be a muscular pain also. It can last for 1-2 weeks after the diarrhea has finished. You can do a hot compress in the area and see if it helps.
This is not likely to be due to a renal stone.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Gastroenteritis is not fun. So, the sluggish feeling and sensitivity in my abdomen and lower ribs is part of it? I noticed that my both my left and right side under my ribs is sensitive to the touch, especially my left side. Not fun. I guess this is really wearing me down. Any suggestions to help me get over this feeling? Or, do I have to wait it out?
Brief Answer:
Take antispasmodic.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Check if there is an over the counter antispasmodic available with your pharmacist. Take them after taking fluid diet, three times a day. For pain do a hot fomentation and take light easy to digest oil free food.
