What Causes Constant Back Pain By The Rib Cage?
i have bad back pain that has lasted for almost 2 weeks now. It is a burning, tingling feeling. I saw a dr, had x rays done they came back fine. urine sample showed small trace of blood with a high white blood cell count. I was prescribed an anti inflammatory medicine and it did not help. I have tried applying heat, seen a registered massage therapist, tried back stretches and nothing is helping. The pain is on my left side right by my rib cage. What could this be?
