What Causes Sharp Pain In Abdomen Radiating To The Back?
In the past few years, I have had this upper abdominal pain that radiates to my back, but it usually only happens once in a while. The past three days, this pain has been occurring. It comes on suddenly, and lasts for about 6-12 hours. It s a sharp pain and my stomach is tender to the touch.

Hi.
The sharp pains in the upper abdomen ''radiating '' to the back can be due to few reasons like
-Gastric ulcer on the back wall of the stomach
-Pancreatitis
-problems of the Kidney, major veins at the back of abdomen in rare cases.
I would advise you to get your upper GI Endoscopy and an ultrasound to find the cause.
The treatment will obviously be as per the findings on investigations.
It is better to rush through investigations as soon as possible.
