Could Severe Back Pain Be Due To Nicoderm Cq Patch?
Two days ago I started wearing Nicoderm CQ patch. Today I got this severe pain on my back. Left side lower rib cage. Is this because of the patch? . cf x My girl friend also started using the patch three days ago and felt the same pain in the same place on her back.

IN short: Allergy to the patch can cause burning sensation over there
Explanation: Nicotine patch cannot cause severe back pain like this. May be you have traveled/exercised/ slept in wrong position which caused Low back ache.
But allergy to patch can cause burning sensation over there. SO, please remove it for a day and if it subsides then its because of it.
