I have chronic back pain. Why does it hurt to inhale when I'm on my back?
Jan 01, 2008 by kmac15090 | Posted in Pain & Pain Management
I do exercises and started taking yoga, the pain won't stop. In yoga, when I'm on my back, I can't inhale without terrible pain. I have to roll on my side to inhale. Most of my back pain has been lower back, but now it's in my mid to upper back. I'm thin, so weight isn't an issue. I don't do heavy lifting. I have to take ibuprofin at night just to fall asleep, but never sleep through the night. I don't remember what it's like to sleep through the night. I'm miserable and want an answer.
You need to see a Doc and get a diagnosis! You should not need to take anything to sleep, let alone be waking due to pain when asleep! Whatever the problem, it sounds serious so see a Doc asap.

How can I be relieved of chronic pain due to trigger points in neck and back? Or, do I have a brain tumor?
Sep 28, 2006 by bobbie e | Posted in Medicine
Any Doctors or Rheumotologists out there to help please?
I have lupus which makes my osteoarthritis in my neck and back worse. My Doctor told me I have malignant knots, and I was given trigger point injections in neck and back. He accidently stuck the needle in my lung, and I ended up in the hospital. (No law suit). - I have also been in physical therapy, message therapy, do yoga, and lift weights, I have been on medication to reduce inflammation and relaxe muscles. Nothing has worked. I have had this pain for 3 years straight. - I developed this problem after my husband died of cancer. Also, my aunt of 48 died after being diagnosed with 19 brain tumors. I am the same age, and I pay Kaiser $600.00 a month out of my own pocket to keep my health benefits. My Dr. visits and med's also cost alot of money. I am going broke and my pain is a 12 on a scale of 1 - 10. - Is there a specific test I shoud ask for, or can I get rid of this problem and live a normal life. I get dizzy and see stars!
If you are really worried about a brain tumor ask for a CT scan or an MRI. I am sure though that if the doctor suspected a brain tumor he would have tested you already.
I am so sorry about your pain. Why don't you see if you can go to a pain specialist in order to have the pain better controlled? While working with the pain specialist, you can still pursue other avenues of treatment, but your pain will be under control and you will be able to be more proactive in your care.
Good luck to you.
