Hello! I am a 22 year old female. On
October 29th of this year, I woke up and
had a pain in the lower right part of my
back.. close to my spine. I had thought
maybe I pulled a muscle while sleeping so
I jumped in the shower (thinking hot water
would ease my pain).. it didn't work.. and
it became severe.. I was crying it hurt so
bad. Eventually, my hands started tingling
(like they had fallen asleep), I started
shaking, and then I threw up. Almost
immediatley after thowing up, I felt
normal again. My mom thought maybe I
worked myself up so much about the pain,
that I had a panic attack.
Three times since then I have gotten that
same pain in my back, but the pain
eventually goes away. But then, this
morning, I woke up to the pain in my
back.. and it wouldn't go away. I was in
pain for over an hour and I eventually
started sweating and shaking... then, I
threw up. Within minutes I felt normal
again. I don't know what's wrong with
me!!
I have no history of any health problems,
with the exception of Scoliosis (and the
back pain I get from that is tolerable and
more towards the middle of my back). I
thought maybe this new pain could be
caused by kidney stones but when looking
on the web, it says pain caused by kidney
problems would be on your left side.
Please help me!

Hello Mmonroe,
PLEASE seek advice from a
neurologist/spinal surgeon without delay.
Also, the pain may be due in part from the
mattress you sleep on. May I be do
foreward as to ask what type of mattress
you have and for how long?
Try to seek out the best
neurologist/spinal surgeon that you can
find in your area. Talk with others and
find out which doctors they liked and
which ones they did not like.
I hope with proper care you will be able
to solve your back pain problem.
