Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pains

I have upper right back pains. I took an acetaminophen and tried ice but I ve didn t work. The acetaminophen hasn t kicked in yet but I told my moM and she just said to stretch it so I tryed but it didn t work. I did move a couple dressers and a bed so that didn t help. Every once in a while when I take a breath in I get a shooting pain in my upper right back. I hurts to do anything from moving a bed to just lying dow. What s wrong with my back

Hi,

Severe back pain might be due to slipped disc syndrome, degenerative disc disease or renal stones, muscle sprain etc. I advise you to:
- Take X-ray spine and lumbar region to find out the cause
- Take analgesics and muscle relaxants twice daily with antacid
- Take good bed rest and hot fomentation
- Avoid lifting heavy weights, bending or twisting your back and sitting for long time
- Lumbar corset and physiotherapy if needed

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
