Can Prior Injury Cause Back Pain?
I have herniated disc at L5 s1 on right side for the past 9 yrs. With in the last month my left side of my back is hurting and I have a dent on my left upper but cheek and its very painful. Has my prior injury caused this one and will the dent go away?

Hi and thanks for the query,
These two pains might really not be related. I suggest you get a proper review from your primary care doctor. In case its a rheumatologic condition with inflammation of multiple joints, this could be the case. Your medical history makes this a bit rare. I suggest you consult your doctor. kind regards
