You really need to go to a doctor to have this checked out. There are a number of things that could cause pain in that area. Some being serious and some not so serious. Make a doctors appointment and if it gets worse you need to get yourself to an E.R. I hope you feel better soon!

ignore the first jackass.... I get it often too and unfortunantly I have yet to find anything to aleviate the pain, I was on morphine and still felt the pain from it. Only thing I can suggest is take an anti-inflamatory like ibuprofin..

it could be possible you have developed an infection - ask your doctor about this and also ask him for some stronger pain medicine.  He could spare a couple of hydrocodone. Maybe try warmth instead of ice?  Lay your head on a heating pad.  Don't be afraid to demand some pain meds - he knows how much this is hurting and should have offered some.  And they are not addicting in the small amounts he would give you for this so don't be worrying about that.  I feel so sorry for you - too bad you don't live closer, I would help.

Heat.  Pain is caused when your blood vessels constrict...this is what causes that throbbing pain.  So you want to make them do the opposite.  And that is to make them dialate...get bigger.  \n\nSo i would reccomend a heating pad.  And a good massage with peppermint and lavender oil.  Then put the heating pad back on. \n\nIf it is an electric heating pad, don't lay on it.  Be sure to lay on your stomach and place the pad on your back.\n\nIf it has been lasting for a really long time, like you feel as if something is really wrong (and not just muscle pains) see a doctor.\n\nYou can take your pain killers, but the heating pad is the natural way I usually take.

Talk honestly to your doctor.  This is something that is actually pretty common and they know how to deal with it in different ways.\n\nIt happens because of the body's natural chemistry when you take pain medication for an extended period of time.  Your body just becomes accustomes to it.  It's not a personal fault or weakness.

It could be anything:  your appendix, muscle spasm, impending diarrhea, constipation.  If it's been going on for a while and/or if the pain is severe, see your doctor.

If you have not injured yourself with a fall or a lift, then you need to go to an emergency room.  There are many internal things that can cause intense back pain like you describe.  Gall bladder for one, but because there are tests that need to be done to determine which you have, you MUST get to an emergency room.  Many of the problems can be quite dangerous if you are alone.\nGo now, if you live close. If you feel your pain will prevent you from safely driving, call 911,or have a friend or relative drive you.

There really isn't much you can do. The pain should not be so bad that it's unbearable. If it is, you should contact your doctor. If it's uncomfortable and a little sore, a little ibuprofen should do the trick.

It might be possible in rare instances but much more likely to be a pulled muscle.  In either case there really is nothing much that can be done.  You can wrap an elastic bandage around the area & it may help a little, it won't completely stop the pain.  Time will take care of it.  I've had both more than once and have been told this by my doctor.

I think you should get medical advice as soon as possible,  sudden worsening of any pain should be checked out.  If this was an expected effect of the scan, I'm sure you would have been told at the time.

It could be a lot of different things so I wouldn't begin to speculate. This may not have anything to do with your stomach.\nWhat you need to do is go to your doctor and describe to him or her where the pain is located, what type of pain it is, (sharp, raditating, etc.) if the pain is happening all the time or only after certain activities and whatever else the doctor may ask you.\n\nI'm not trying to scare you, but I'd suggest you make an appointment right away.

If this is happening on a regular basis, definitly see a doctor!  However, this happens to me and has been since I can remember but found out when I was older that gas trapped can cause this sharp pain.  I always thought I was having a heart attack when I was a teen!!  It hurt to breath in too deep and it was a sharp pain that felt like it was in my heart area.  This only happens to me a couple of times a year.  In otherwords, it's not a regular occurance for me...

If the pain is severe, go and see your family dr. Otherwise I'd suggest stretching but you need to get an x-ray if the pain is severe. Don't wait go and make it a priority it coudl lead to further issues.
