My girlfriend, her Mom, Dad and I went grocery shopping at about 7pm Friday (its 2:15am Saturday now) When we got back I carried about 10-15 bags of groceries in with one hand. Upon setting the groceries down I felt a pain in the upper part of my spine and thought nothing of it. My girlfriend and I went in her room and laid down to watch a movie, I kept feeling the pain a little bit with certain movements I would make so I took 800mg of Ibuprofen. After-wards we went downstairs to eat dinner and I felt the pain throughout dinner. We went back upstairs and finished our movie. I went to go put another movie in and started getting the pains really bad so I decided to lay face down on the floor and try to keep my spine straight, it didnt help much. I also got a pain in my lungs twice (Im not sure if the incidents are related and Im a smoker of 7 years marijuana and cigarettes) Anyways, the pain in my spine occurs with certain arm and neck movements (mainly when I look down like Im reading a book) and it extends from the base of my neck to the bottom of my shoulder blades, not any lower at all. The pain in my lungs was a sharp pain, a pain Ive felt before because of inflammation of my lungs, the weird thing is I can take deep breathes and theres no lung pain or feeling what-so-ever. When I did get the lung pain it was accompanied by the spine pain. I just took 600mg of Ibuprofen and some Tylenol via my girlfriends Moms recommendation. I also had my girlfriend apply Mineral Ice (Icey Hot) to the area on my spine that hurts. Should I go to the hospital asap or would tomorrow be okay? If I do wait until tomorrow and the pain is gone, should I go anyways? Could this be pain from straining a muscle (I highly doubt its a muscle, it definitely feels like the bone is aching) or pulling something in my back? Please, no hypocondriacts. I dont need any more worry. I want serious, professional suggestions and opinions please. Thank you.
The Mineral Ice definitely seemed to help. Thanks for the answers you two. I think Ill go to sleep and get to a hospital first thing tomorrow for some x-rays. I also wont have a cigarette until then.
Well I went to the hospital. Turns out I have Pancreatitis. This question is closed, Ill give best answer to the first person that replied.
