How To Cure Pluerisy Along With Back Pain?

i have had a pain in my chest for about a month. I went to ER when it started and was diagnosed with Pluerisy, and told it should be better in a week or so... I also have scoliosis/kyphosis, with a few minor herniated discs. Anyway thats hat the doc called it after the CT scan. I call it relentlless back pain. The chest pain feels like there is somethingunder my ribs on the left side, just bout the bottom of the ribs up to the nipple, and if I move wrong its like being hit with a crowbar. this is accompanied by stinging pain in the middle of my back. I'm dying, aren't I?

Hello & Welcome to HCM,

I had gone through the case and found that back pain might be due to pleurisy.

Pleurisy is the inflammation of layer surrounding the lung. Some time inflammation causes accumulation of fluid in layer which causes pain.

There are many causes of pleurisy-

Viral or Bacterial infection of lower respiratory tract.

Pneumothorax.

Tuberculosis.

Rheumatoid arthritis,

Lupus, sickle cell crisis.

Pulmonary embolism, or pancreatitis

So go for proper investigation to find ut the cause of pleurisy and take treatment.

Investigation-

Blood test

Elisa for tuberculosis

Ultrasound of Abdomen

Echo cardiogram of Heart

X-ray of chest.

If Effusion also present then go for cytological test of Fluid. If fluid is too mush in quantity then by tapping the pain can subside.


After proper treatment the pain can goes off.

Hope my answer will be effective for you.

Thanks,
Dr.Soni Verma
