Suggest Remedy For Back Pain

I have persistent pain in the middle of my back, it travels right across but isnt in my shoulder blades or low back. I have been treating it with panadol 4 hourly but as soon as it wears off the pain is back. I am having trouble lying down and normal functioning but it does not feel like a pulled muscle and I'm not having any difficulty with mobility. This has been going on for 3 days now

Hi,
Happy to see that you have framed your question near perfect! Except you haven't told me your sex! That would have ruled out one cause, but as of now i can frame only two diagnosis-Acute pancreatitis or scoliosis.

Get your full blood count done
LIPASE AND AMYLASE LEVEL
URINE TEST FOR PRESENCE OF SUGAR IN IT.

CT SCAN

AND THE LAST RESORT CAN BE MRCP.

For scoliosis,
Go for X-Ray ,Postero-anterior view ,and a lateral one.
Cobb's angle measurement should do the job.

Hope that helps! Happy to help you again! :)
