mid back pain radiates to left arm Posted: 02-28-08 17:55pm
About a month and a half ago I starting
have a deep pain in my back. It would
hurt slightly when I took a breath. It
continued to get worse especially when I
arise in the morning after a night of
sleeping. When I get up it hurts to move,
breathe, and if I try to lay back down the
pain get so bad that it radiates to my
left arm...so I have to sit up. After
about a half hour or so of moving about
the pain lessens. Now the pain is lasting
longer during the day and going into the
middle of my chest and then it subsides
again until I go to sleep and then in the
morning it starts all over again? What
could be the cause? I have not injured
myself. I've been to the doctor and I've
had an x-ray of my back and it was
clear...my lungs upon listening to them
are clear also? It doesn't hurt to lift
anything or bend over? Not sure what is
going on?

You need a chest xray.

Thanks for responding to my question. Let
me correct myself by saying that I did
have a chest xray not a back xray and
yesterday I went to the doctors again and
he sent me for a CT of my neck and spine.
I won't have the results until Monday or
Tuesday.
