    Stabbing Right Side Back Pain
    I have been to the ER twice last week with severe stabbing pain on my right side / back. I had an ultra sound of the kidneys / gall bladder / liver / spleen.
    also a CT scan of the chest & a thorasic spine X-ray. All came up negative except for the spine Xray: result was slight arthritus of the spine. Next is a CT scan of the lung with imaging dye. I have been prescribed skelaxin 800mg along with vicodin 500mg they help briefly with the pain. But symptoms return in 2 to 3 hours. Any ideas out there would help out a lot...

    Thanks Bernie

    Hi, Bernie,
    Sounds like you are in "good hands" for the time being, with all the tests.
    I do know that a "stabbing back pain" can be caused by a lung infection. My wife has bad lungs, and is subject to getting infections/viruses very fast. One symptom, which I then know to get her to her Doctor right away, is a left back pain, which with her, indicates a lung infection.
    I am not a Doctor, and this may or may not fit your case, but at any rate, it's just one thing.
    I do wish you the best, and good luck.

    I went to my family doctor and he said I had shingles. It only effects one side of the body
    And I have a lot of pain on my right side and right side of my back. Could that be what

    I have been having those same symptoms.. for like 3 days now! It started as a pain in right shoulder/neck area.. I thought it was a knot in my muscle, it then kind of turned into pain in the shoulder, under my ribs, and my back under my ribs... it's a very sharp pain and is hurts more when I breathe. I can't move very much, it hurts to lay flat, or on my right side.. I ve been to the ER twice, they have done chest x-rays, blood work, ECG and still have NO idea what's going on. I am in a lot of pain, its almost unbearable.. I may try a different hospital this evening if it gets really bad again. Any ideas?
