What Causes Pain In Lower Back?
Hi, I am a 25 year old male with Gastro oesophagal reflux, and have a beer or two drinks of whiskey on the rocks everyday. I also smoke 10-15 cigarettes a day. I have sharp pain in my lower back - somewhere between the last two ribs, which eventually also appears in my left shoulder. I have had this two times in the last 3 days during the night. Everything is fine when I wake up in the morning. Is it a gastric problem or something serious? the pain is quite sharp and increses when I breathe or move.

Hi
thank you for trusting HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
It seems that your symptoms aren't related to your gastrointestinal problems
In my opinion you are suffering from fibromyalgia, nothing to be worried to much
You can discuss about my opinion with your doctors and use pain killer to avoid pain
Try analgesics as NSAID can worse reflux
Wish you good health
Regards
