What Does Severe Pain In The Lower Back And Chest Indicate?
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with chronic Pericarditis. I was given steroids and am now taking colchicine and Ibuprofen to relieve the swelling. I see my cardiologist again this Thursday. I am still in almost constant pain inmy left chest and up into my neck. I also started having stabbing pain in my lower left back, near the kidney area. Should I be concerned?
