Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Pain In Lower Back, Tightness In Area, Swelling. Due To Back Injury?
I don t want to go to the er but I m scared. Not sure if my kidneys are hurting or my back. I injured my back a year ago and because of insurance problems I have been in able to get the right tests on my back. Anyways my lower thoracic spine hurts so bad and it wraps around to my stomach but I feel like a belt is wrapped around that area and everything is swelling and or inflammed over the belt it s very painful and scarey.
Hi, i hope you have got the right tests done when you had a injury, like x-ray of the thoracic spine to rule out fractures. Now that a constricting pain, swelling and inflammation its better you get physically checked by a doctor and not ignore it. Take care.
