What Causes Stabbing Pain Radiating From Mid Back To Chest Area?
During my sleep last night I started having gradual stabbing pain in my mid back. My mid back felt like it was burning and that pain enveloped the sides and then my sternum/chest area. I was dbled over this morning and found out when I inhaled/exhaled the pain got worse. Now I do take meds for arthritis that travels down my lumbar/leg area; it is not back pain, I really know how that feels. I will tell you that my meds and my back brace has helped me with my pain; any ideas?..... Thanx Alot, Pati PS I m 55 yrs old and take very good care of myself

Hello,
It looks from your details that you are taking medicines for arthritis. Most probably you are also taking pain medicines. Such symptoms can be due to gastritis or pancreatitis. At present, you should take an antacid preparation like zinetac 150 mg and avoid oily and spicy preparations. You should also avoid preparations containing excess of fat. If it continue to be there then you should consult to your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
