Pain In Left Side Of Back,goes Severe Sometimes,sleep Deprive. Any Treatment?
In the middle of my back on my left side I have a really uncomfortable pain stopping me from sleeping. This morning I attempted to push my pain area against the corner of a wall and massage it when a shooting pain shot through the area and dropped me to my knees for a few minutes. As I twist and turn certain positions ease the pain but then all of a sudden it quite painful. Please advise me what it could be and what I should do ?thank you. Adrian
