My back has been hurting an awful lot. I am tired, weak, and i dont have an appetite. my gums bleed a lot, my menstrual cycle is heavier than it used to be, and i am constantly getting sick. The part of my back that hurts is the dorsal area of the upper left quadrant on the lateral side. when my husband massages it to try to get the back pain to go away, it always feels harder at that spot.
