Pain In the Right Side of My Back Posted: 11-28-05 01:34am
I have been getting this pain in the right
side of my back just below the rib cage.
It has started recently in the past few
months I get it after sititng down for a
long lenth of time like sitting at the
computer for 2 hours or so or riding in a
car for several hours. It is very
painfull and is extremely painful to stand
up still it seems to go away if I lean to
the left or bend forward some but if I
lean to the right it gets worse.
Also I do alot of heavy living im 21 and
weigh 130lbs and I sometimes lift 60 or
70+ pound boxes regularly. I have hurt my
lower back before from lifting usually a
sharp pain that last only a few hours bu I
have never had it so high up before. It
usually goes away after I lay down for a
while.
Anyone know what it could be could it
just be muscle pain from sitting in one
position for so long or could it be
somthing else worse inside. I have never
had this up until just liek 3 or so months
ago. I work at my computer alot during
the day but at night I do alot of gaming
online I am on the road with my dad
somtimes 12 houars aday for 3 days a aeek
and have been for many years and this just
started now.

There is a high liklyhhod that you have
some muscle damage to the thoracic region
of your back. You should see your family
doctor and see if he concurs and if there
are spasms, maybe he will prescribe some
form of muscle relaxer and a mild pain med
along with rest and possibly ice/heat and
physical therapy.
If you are at the begining stages of
having back problems, I would advise you
to begin going to college now and try to
get a bachelors in something that is not
going to be too physical, the reason I say
this is because I am in the same shape you
are in now. I was making close to 80k a
year as a power plant shift supervisor and
now I am disabled and cannot go back to
what I know. I have to start over and it
is really hard to go to college at 33 with
a 1 month old baby and terrible back pain
still.
Dont hesitate to go to your doc and if
this is work related, claim it. I didnt
and I will be without disability pay by
the end of next year. Not a good life
choice for me!

Good advice, get to a doctor and get
checked out. You don't want to mess
around with a back injury. I did and now
i'm permantly disabled and have permanent
nerve damage. Good luck to you .
