Terrible Pain In Middle Back Radiating To Left Side
I am having terrible pain in my middle back radiating off to the side on the left. Sharp and very painful to sit up when laying down or to turn. Also diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm which they are keeping an eye on the size is only 4 right now. could this pain be coming from that or what could this possibly be. Been to chiropractor with no relief. Now going to PT and still no relief. I am becoming very depressed and tired from lack of sleep.

In my opinion you should stop worrying. For immediate relief have some pain killer along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for 2 weeks. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, do not sit for longer durations and do not travel long distance for 2 weeks .When getting up from bed always take a lateral position first then hang your legs down and then get up. Do not strain your self or over exert. . U can also apply some good anti inflamatory pain killer gel on your back.If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and you will be fine in 2 weeks
