Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Body Pain And Lower Stomach Pain Be Due To Side Effects Of Back Pain Medications?
For the last two days my whole body has been achey. today three different times i have had shooting pains in my lower stomach that brings me to the ground. i ve been taking three different medications for my back pain. could this possibly be having a reaction to the medicines?
The pain into the stomach is related to possible gastritis or ulcers. Having used anti-inflammatory drugs such Advil or naproxen for back pain may have contributed to this stomach pain. I can advise you to stop anti-inflammatory drugs and start taking the antiacids such Omeprazole.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
