Dear friend,first of all thank you for your consultation.it seems that the back pain is really bothering you.you should start doing home regimen of physiotherapy like back muscle strenthening flexion exercise to decrease the pain.whereas all that you written about your pain behind sternum and stomach are seems to be because of hyperacidity.3 days of toast has caused some disbalanced in your food intake profile causing increased acid secretion .so try to take food in regular interval in proper amount .if the stomach pain is too much you should take antacid tablet for quick relief.in this way you can get rid of your both back and stomach pain problem.thank you.
