| Cause Of Upper Back Pain |
|
Question:
Does anyone else have excruciating upper back pain with Crohn's Disease? I have joint
pains, sometime severe. My GI once told me that my upper back pain might be
from arthralgia in my rib cage. My CD seems to be flaring again.
I just had
surgery for two recto-vag fistulas. This past week my back is killing me. I
can't lay down, I can't hardly move around. I have heard some say that your
gall bladder can cause upper back pain (referred pain). Has anyone else had
this problem?
Answer:
Yes, I have experienced upper back pain. Have had Crohn's and been taking
prednisone for 30 years.
My uper back pain was due to degenerative disk disease. Had decompression
surgery (C5-6) in March. My problem may be a result of long term prednisone
usage. However, there are numerous problems which can cause upper back pain.
I also had weakness and partial paralysis in my right arm.
