What Causes Clicking In Back/soreness In Chest While Recovering From Anorexia?

Hi im 18, 156cm and 38.7kg im recoverying from anorexia. For the last 10 days i havn't been feeling well, my back is clicking and my chest is sore and feels week and when my back clicks it helps the pain in my chest. I saw a chiropractor 2 days ago and that hepled the pain a bit, but i was wondering what else could be wrong? as my chest and back still hurts.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having anorexia and having back pain and chest pain, we must rule out lung and spine related diseases like pleural effusion and Koch's spine (tubercular infection of spine). Because both of them can cause similar symptoms.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. X ray of D-L (dorso lumber) spine
3. MRI of D-L spine.
If it is pleural effusion then you will have too need aspiration of fluid and reports of fluid.
You might need anti tubercular drugs also.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
