Teenage boy with back pain, fever, and vomiting?
My little brother was woken up by the pain in his back today. It's his lower back and it hurts so much that he has tears in his eyes. A little bit ago he threw up I don't if it as from the pain or something else? He has a fever and is shaking and has a sore throat, headache, and sensitivity to light. I'm really worried actually because I've never seen him like this and our dad doesn't get off work until 8 tonight (it's about noon now) and I can't drive him anywhere and I don't really have anyone who can right now. I gave him Aleve and he's taking another hot bath right now but I'm really scared. Do you know what it could be?
What would cause severe back pain that only stops after vomiting?
Urinary tract infections are fairly common. They affect women more than men and can be a real hindrance on your daily life. That being said, you don't have to succumb to a UTI and the back pain that can come along with it, as numerous treatment options are available. Definition A urinary tract infection is also known as a UTI and is basically an infiltration of bacteria at any point along the urinary tract, which includes the kidneys, bladder, urethra and ureters. Most urinary tract infects involve the urethra and the bladder only. However, more serious infections can spread up to the ureters and the kidneys, causing severe back pain, fever, chills and even vomiting. Causes Urinary tract infections can be caused by a variety of things. Being a woman predisposes you to this condition, because the urethra is shorter in women than in men. Bacteria can more easily travel from the anus into the urethra as well. Holding urine for too long and not emptying your bladder completely can also cause a UTI. Failing to drink enough water and drinking acidic drinks like orange juice or coffee and lead to inflammation. Sexual intercourse can force bacteria into the urethra as well. Back Pain For some, back pain is a prominent feature of their urinary tract infections. This usually occurs once the infection has spread to the kidneys. Sufferers will notice a dull pain in the lower back as well as pain in the flanks and sides of the body. Pain may occur on one side or both and can range in severity. However, experiencing back pain along with other UTI symptoms is a signal that you need immediate medical attention. Other Symptoms Besides back pain, urinary tract infections can produce a variety of symptoms. For instance, you may notice a painful burning sensation when you urinate, the urge to urinate frequently and with great urgency only to have a small amount of urine expelled and bloody or cloudy-looking urine. In some cases, a fever and chills will develop along with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Treatment Treating a urinary tract infection is usually pretty straightforward. A round of antibiotics will typically do the trick. A few commonly prescribed antibiotics for this purpose include doxycycline, amoxicillin and quinolones. To encourage speedy healing, drink plenty of water and avoid eating spicy foods, drinking acidic juices, alcohol, coffee or sodas and go to the bathroom often.
Stomach, back and leg pain after vomiting?
You probably just have a bug. Your legs could hurt from kneeling on them when you vomit. Your muscles could hurt for 2 reasons; when you have a flu your body aches. The second reason is when you vomit your strained. Your body isn't used to this strain and your body is reacting to the pain. As for vomiting with almost nothing coming out the bug just has a hold of your gag reflex (sorry about the explanation, trying to keep it simple tonight, im a little tired). You probably don't need to go to the Doctor unless its absolutely necessary (sorry I'm just a little sensitive about people going to the doctors over "nothing"). I hope this helped and I hope you feel better.
Pinched nerve? upper back pain causing vomiting?
Right at my bra line on my upper back it hurts soooooo bad that it radiates to my stomach and makes me throw up. Once I throw up I feel a bit better but this pain is up there with labor pains. I would actually rather be in labor then have this back pain. I never had it before until after I gave birth to my daughter in late november 08. I had an epidural after 30 hours of labor then ended up having a c section. I dont think that had anything to do with it, but it hurts sooooooo bad that sometimes I cant take the pain. I have a hugely high pain tolerance too. I have been to my chiropractor and when he gives me an adjustment it takes the pain away. I also saw my regular dr for this and he thinks its a sever muscle spasm so he gave me some flexeril but I HATE taking pain meds or muscle relaxers. Has anyone experienced this before and what have they done for it. Im desperate. ANY help is appreciated. Also my Chiro said it feels like a compounded injury like I fell hard on my butt, but that has never happened. He said it could be bone on nerve. I just dont know.
Vomit, abdominal pains, hot and cold flashes. Causes?
My boyfriend has been sick all day. He woke up around 4:30am with pains in his stomach. Since then he's thrown up roughly 10 times. He can't keep anything down(even the pepto bismal came back up). He is constantly going through hot and cold flashes. While he's throwing up his body is extremely hot and he sweats, then after he shakes and is freezing cold. He's tried to sleep, but its constant pain. Does anyone have any idea as to what could be causing this. I'm reluctant to say food poisoning because he hasn't really had any diarrhea and lacks a consistent fever. Not to mention we ate the same thing, and I feel absolutely fine. Any answers at all would be greatly appreciated.
I have mid back and stomach pain? HELP!?
Your back pain is caused by pinched muscles. Pinched muscles in your back can press into the nerves, as they leave the spine, going to the organs to cause pains in them. Pressure on the nerves to your stomach will cause it to release more gastric acid which is painful. Pinched muscles don't show up on the scans so they get missed for that reason. To get rid of your pains and to keep them from coming back you have to free up your back muscles and here's how to do that: Back: (do from a sitting position) Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
