Pain While Breathing, Back. CT Scan Revealed Kidneys With Stones. Is This Connected With Back Pain?
I hurt when I take deep breathes usually around my lung area..but the other day I woke up and had a bad attack..when I took in a breathe it felt like a knife stabbing in my back between my shoulder blades thru to my front around my chest ..I hurt so bad it made me cry..but the attack only lasted a few min.. then it eased up ..but I still feel pain in my back and seems like in my lungs.? I just had a cat scan done cuz I been hurting for 3 weeks thinking my gallbladder only to find it is my kidneys both full of stones. would this have anything to do with the back pain between my shoulder blades?
