Back And Stomach Pain
37 Answers
Hi quick question for my Mum who is uncharacteristically in agony. She was walking around the supermarket on Thursday night doing nothing strenuous at all when she was beset by an extreme pain in her back, r/h side of the spine just above the centre (roughly along the Erectus Sinae muscle) but very localised (about the size of an orange diameter) and at the same time a very sharp pinching pain in her upper right hand abdomen coupled with a feeling of pressure on her rib cage that side. She has been in agony since and on some very heavy duty painkillers to no avail. It's better when she lies flat, less so when she is upright and walking and worst when sitting. No other symptoms, no sickness or nausea etc, no fever. She has a Drs appointment tomorrow afternoon but seriously thinking about shovelling her off down the hospital as she's not a baby about pain at all but in absolute agony with both. Any ideas anyone what it could be?

I hope they have got her pain under control and she is more comfortable, such a painful thing to have. Couldn't wait to get my gallbladder out :) Lost a lot of weight with the very low fat small portion diet beforehand to try and reduce attacks. Best wishes to her, let us know how she gets on x
