what I would figure from back pain is if you have a large chest that could be causing the back pain... it does for me (well pre-prg.) umm try going to a chiropractor (sp?) something in your back could just not be set right. There are tons of things that it could be that are easliy fixed. Try better posture (sp?) as well. That seems to help me.

prolly. I still say go to a chiropractor if there is anything seriously wrong with your back they would be able to tell you. You could possible have scoliosis and not know it.

a chiropractor is a back doctor pretty much..
Scoliosis is where you have a curve in your spine... my ex actually has to go to a chiropractor for this to be fixed.... I doubt you would have a blood clot but it is possible.
I didn't have heart flutters either... Have you tried going to a different doctor than the one you've been seeing for all of this?

it very well could be. I'd try going to the doctor one last time and tell them they better find out what's wrong... Tell them what you think it is again and have them check it out.
