What Causes Painful Back Area?
Hello for the pass three months i ve been having constant stinging burning back pain that mostly is on my left side. I ve been to the ER 4 times and no one can tell me what the issue is. On one of my visits I was told that my pancreas was mildly inflamed but nothing to worry about. The symptoms are always there especially when I get really full after eating. The back pain comes along with headaches, leg numbness, and my face feels funny as if someone is touching me. I don t know what else to do. Can you please help.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
The back pain,headache, leg numbness needs to be evaluated by clinical examination and various tests.
You may need to do some blood works, ESR, electrolytes and X-ray scan of the affected area to diagnose it correctly.
Meanwhile, you should take analgesics, antacids and antihistamines.
If it was mild pancreatitis as you said then you should go for gastroenterologist opinion further.
