Stomach And Back Pain, When Persistent Is A Reason To Be Worried
Both stomach and back pain are common ailments that almost everyone will have felt at some point of time or the other in their lives and they are also something that can be treated without too much fuss or bother, unless particularly severe. The only kind of stomach and back pain that gives reason to be worried is one that is such that it cannot be ignored because it could be an indicator that something else that is serious has gone wrong with you.
As far as the stomach pain is concerned you should consider a few things that will help you realize the seriousness of this type of pain and it could be due to a woman’s pregnant state, or it could be something worse in which the stomach may feel tender to the touch. If a pregnant woman feels stomach pain, and it is accompanied by bleeding, it could be indicative of something serious such as ectopic pregnancy, or even miscarriage.
Other types of stomach pain are appendicitis conditions, infectious diarrhea, bowel bleeding, perforated appendix and pancreatitis and even bowel blockage. However, if you have both stomach and back pain, it could be that you have gallstones, or even and infected gallbladder, which is a serious condition that warrants needing to see your doctor without any delay.
Kidney Stones, Or Even Tumors
Other types of conditions that you may be suffering from when it concerns stomach and back pain is any condition in which you have pain as a result of kidney stones, or even because of a tumor, and when accompanied by a fever, it could indicate that you have kidney or even bladder infection, which means that you need to head to the nearest hospital and get further and prompt medical attention.
The simplest treatment for stomach and back pain, when it is a result of having eaten something unpalatable, is to sip water or suck on some chips of ice. However, if such a condition is serious enough you will have to see a doctor, especially when the pain is severe and persistent and it only seems to get worse, or even when it is accompanied by shortness of breath and bleeding or even dizziness, high fever or vomiting.
In case of stomach and back pain, it is necessary for you to describe to the doctor exactly the pain that you are feeling and also describe where it hurts you the most, and also the feelings of pain that it causes because the proper diagnosis would only then be possible if you are clear about letting the doctor know about your exact problem.

Of the 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, 80 percent are women, and having a mother with osteoporosis puts a daughter particularly at risk for fractures.

I have had a persistent backache (lower through to upper back) that I believe is connected to a stomach problem. It is hard to get the doctors to view it thye same way although they can’t come up with an alternative diagnosis. Any thoughts?
I had a herniated disc operation (lumbars 3 and 4) about 18 months ago. Obviously, I still have intermittent lower back pain.
I also have pains in the lower part of my abdomen (i,.e., my ‘middle’) as well as in my front abdominal muscles. These come and go most days.
Could these be connected (no pun) to the back pain, or is this a whole new other can of worms?
I have this weird constant fluttering in the lower left side of my stomach, similar to the fetus movement when I was pregnant (I’m now 54 and menapausal) along with constant lower back pain. It is uncomfortable to stand in one place for long and I am very tired. I recently had blood work done and nothing unusual came up.
Any suggestions?
I’ve been having constant back pain for the past few days.
It hasnt stop since it started and also my upper stomach aches, like someone is squeezing it.
It feels like it’s related to my back pain, now im only 14 so could this be something serious?
And by the way i dont think its premenstrual pain, its never been like this before and im in between periods so its unlikely to be having pain now.
HELP?
I have had a pain in my upper left stomache area for a few months now, now for the past month I have had a shortness of breathe, its hard to describe like when I try to take a deep breath its like I cant get all of my air in somehow I think the that these to things are related and it seems that when I get up and start moving around the shortness of breath gets worse. the pain in my stomache is not terrible but just a constant pain in there. please help!
hi, i think that the pain you are having is what i use to get under my rib cage and its just pain that seems to get worse with breathing in deeply or trying to catch your breath.
try taking some excedrin and it will help the back and body ones.
and drink plenty of water.
dont do anything like lifting and setting and standing a lot.
and if you can go for a long walk while drinking cold water.
and lots of it.
it will go away.
the stomach pain could be and infection or maybe a bug,
but id take the pain med and drink water and walk a bit and if your still hurting in a few days then i would go see the doc.
but it would help to rub some vicks on your chest before bed and put a humidifier in your room at night to help you breath.
if this all helps let me know.
i am having health problems my self and i am so scared i might be having kidney failure and i hope not i have 4 kids to care for that want me around and i know with kidney failure your chances on death are high, theires no cure for it.
and i dont want that to be whats wrong, i hope not.
but let me know if you do this and feel better.
