What Causes Back Pain Radiating To Shoulders?

Hello sir I was diagnosed with 2 FNH tumours and fatty/nash liver via an MRI scan with gulodium at a reputable hospital in Sheffield in sept 2013. Following this I have had a further MRI scan in November 2014, the finding of this particular scan were reported to me via a letter from my consultant stating he felt no added concerns. He was very vague. However, recently I have been experiencing mid to upper back pain which radiates to my shoulders. I have very little pain in my RUQ. I feel immense stress and worry as I feel my condition may have been mid diagnosed. As I have read FNH tumours can often be mis diagnosed as they resemble liver cancer. My question is God forbid my condition had been mis diagnosed would my symptoms or condition have declined in the past 20 months.

Hello,

Back pain radiating to shoulders may be in concern with
- Spinal cord related issues
- Pancreatic problems
- Others

However, the non alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) does not pause such occurrence of back pain radiating to shoulders.

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