Pneumonia symptoms with back pain
Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia symptoms with back pain
pneumonia
Thank you for responding! I know back pain comes with the territory,but this just seemed strange. The reason I worry about pneumonia is because the pain around my ribs (backside) increases when I breathe. Especially when I exhale. I thought about doing stretches and yoga as well. Taking a Tylenol and hoping I can cope. Just needed reassurance it didnt sound like a bigger issue. Thanks again.
I am concerned for you that you either may have bronchitis or even pneumonia. I know back pain is a very common symptom of pneumonia. But if you're coughing a lot it is possible it's just your muscles that are sore. What I would do if I were you is look up the symptoms of pneumonia. Then at least you know what to watch for....hope you get better soon!!
Also, shortness of breath. Did you have any of these symptoms when they found that you had pneumonia on the CT?
Obviously if you have a fever see your doctor. Or see him if you feel that it could be pneumonia. Other things you could try if you don't have a fever and you think it is a virus, is to steam yourself in the shower and/or with a bowl of hot water and breath in the steam to make yourself cough and break up any tightness in the lungs.
Two years ago I returned to my primary care physician with chronic low back pain. She referred me to physical therapy. I completed pt. He suggested it was my lack of flexibility. Next, the primary had an X-ray (normal results). After she referred me to a pain management doctor. I also went to another physical therapist who thought the concern was my lack of small stomach muscle control from multiple pregnancies and surgeries of the abdominal area. MRIs of the lower back we're good.
Eight days ago I was diagnosed with pneumonia and given medication that made me very ill. I was told that it would take a few days for the meds to do thier job. On the sixth day, I was in real bad shape. I had sharp shooting pains in my back, right side under my ribs, muscle spasms, and shooting pains in my right shoulder. I could not walk, lay down, or sit with out pain .
I've been using a cpap machine for over a year but recently I've been waking with severe lung ache !! its almost like I'm winded i can hardly move with the pain I'm worried this might b a side affect to the pressure on my machine being to high ...
I went to our local urgent care center this past Friday because of strange chest pain and upper back pain that “just didn’t feel normal”. I’ve been diagnosed with lobar pneumonia and was put on antibiotics. It’s been two days (5 doses of antibiotics, so far) and nothing has changed! There is still no congestion, no coughing (I’ve even had 5 doses of Musinex)...just fatigue and shortness of breath. The pain is on and off....I feel crazy!!! HELP?!? (No, I’ve not been sick...
You have good reasons to be concerned about your sister and her multiple health problems. Pain associated with her pneumonia should have eased as her pneumonia resolved. Pain at this time is not normal. The recurrence of cough and pain along with the abnormal X-ray findings of “scarring” and “a hole” in her lung suggest otherwise; that is to say that hers is what we would call complicated pneumonia.
You ask, if she needs to be admitted to a hospital.
Have you been sick lately? Because you could have a pneumonia in your right lung. I know that when I have pneumonia that's the only time I can feel any pain with it. An xray can show what's going on, if not your doc might order a CT scan.At any rate, don't wait,
go get your answers as soon as you can as waiting can be dangerous. Take care.
It sounds like a severe case of bronchitis that you got from getting the pneumonia, obviously just an observation though. Go back to your primary doctor and tell them your symptoms haven't changed, you may need different antibiotics. I had acute bronchitis with a nasty cough for about 5 months and I went to the doctor twice for it and the second time they gave me different antibiotics and it helped. Good luck, hope you feel better!
iam just geting over pneumonia and i have started getting joint pain.
Was on a 3-day course of Bactrim for a UTI with all my usual symptoms (burning, pressure, nausea, fatigue, malaise). I took my last dose on Saturday night. Though I thought I had a return of urinary symptoms (burning) on Sunday night, by Monday everything had resolved. Today I started getting a sore back though it is unclear to me whether it is muscular. It is almost reminiscent of the onset of a case of pneumonia I had 5 years ago.
About 6 weeks ago I started to get pain in my back. The pain is located under my left scapula (shoulder blade??). It kind of feels like a pinched never type pain. Soon after pain, I started to feel tightness in my chest. It is difficult to explain the tightness. It is not tightness caused by congestion. If feels like my chest is heavy or the muscles are laboring more to suck air into my lungs.
Today the pain in the back feels more like a burning sensation.
3 weeks on doxicycline and a week on azithromyacin and I still have a fever and infection (Was diagnosed with A-typical pneumonia). I also have a lymphnode that is much larger and more prominent than any others and has been for a few months but does not hurt. I had my blood counts checked and my WBC is high (14.0) even after all of the antibiotics. My TSH level has also gone up to 38.6 again creating massive exhaustion.
