What Causes Backpain While Taking Deep Breaths?

Hi,
I would like to suggest you visit a neuro physician for a physical examination.
You may need a spine x-ray. Depending on that medicines (usually a short course of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines) may be started.
If there is no improvement with medicines, then even a MRI of spine may be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ajay Panwar, Neurologist
