What Causes Upper Back Pain With Difficulty In Breathing?
The other morning I defecated and turned to wipe myself and developed this excruciating pain in my left upper back. After that movement was very difficult, even breathing. It felt like a knife was in me just below the level of my breast but in the back. I went to the ER because I thought I had a kidney stone. They gave me Toradal for pain, Zofran because I was nauseated, did labs, took urine, gave me a whole bag of fluid and did a CT scan. All of the test came back normal. They sent me home with a prescription for Naproxen 500mg every 12 hours. I have been in bed since then and have had to take one pain pill at one point the pain was so bad. I asked the ER doctor to do an xray. He refused saying that the CT scan would have shown anything wrong. So last night I put in all of my symptoms and came up with Forestier s disease. I hope not, but I am 60 yrs with diabetes. How can I find out for sure?

Hello
Stop diagnosing yourself with diseases.
Dish diagnosis requires 4 adjacent spinal ossification which would have been caught on ct.
This is just some muscle sprain
Take analgesic, muscle relaxant and amitryptiline.
