Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause A Soreness In The Left Side Of The Lower Back?
My daughter had a heart attack that started with pain in her back. At 84 years of age when I have an ongoing soreness in my back that doesn t go away when I rest, I am concerned. This is not a pain, but a soreness in my lower back left side. How can I tell if it is a symptom or just another ache and pain that comes with age. This started yesterday.
Hello there I have read through your question and understand your concern. Pain that is associated with Myocardial infarction is typically a left sided chest pain that may radiate to the jaws and back. It may present with other symptoms like palpitations, sweating and flushing. The pain you are describing is more pointing towards a muscular pain. The best way to diagnose is that you get an EKG done. If it is clear then you don't need to worry. If it is a muscular pain you will get relief by taking a painkiller like aceclofenac or Tylenol. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
