Mom Has Severe Back Pain Posted: 09-26-07 05:14am


Whenever my mom sits down or lays down she gets this sharp pain in her upper right back. It only happens when she sits or lays down. I believe when she stands it's still there for a bit, but dies down soon after. She has had this for about 6-9 months now and it only happens for about 1-2 weeks after that she is fine until it starts up again. Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? She has seen the doc twice so far and he didn't know what it was...

How is it when she's sleeping? In what position does she sleep?

Hello Mhbp, I would highly recommend that your Mom make an appointment to see a neurolotist and/or spine surgeon. She may need to have an MRI if the spine specialist so recommends. RichT

Or the reason is uplifted ilium that compresses the nerves when sitting. It is a common cause of sitting pains and not seen in MRI, CT nor X-ray. And most doctors don't believe it exists.
