What Is Causing My Upper Back Pain On The Left Side?
I am having upper back pain on the left side. Started just about 5 days ago and came out of nowhere. It is a deep, burning pain that is always there and at times gets even more severe. It's is so painful. Any ideas what could have brought this on? I am taking tylenol daily for wrist injury but only take 600 to 1200 mgs a day. Have been taking it for a month now. Is that making things worse? Could it be referred pain from my liver? Google is giving too many options of what it could be. I need a doctor's opinion.
Hi, From history it seems that due to taking tylenol 600 to 12oo mg daily since long might have produced severe hyper acidity or gastritis giving this problem. Stop taking tylenol. Take omeprazole or pentoprazole daily one for some time. Go for stool test for occult blood. Take more milk. Ok and take care.
