For the past 8 months I've had right side back pain or tightness. I have also had extreme hunger and odd bowel issues for the same period. The back pain started before the bowel problems. I've had a CT scan, colonoscopy and endoscopy to rule out any internal problem and they all came back ok.

All the drs. tell me the back problem is muscular. The tightness starts at the rib level and feels as thought it pulls out to the flank and even raps around the rib a bit. The only pain I have is on lateral movement, and it feels as though the muscles just can't stretch enough. When I sit still for too long and the stretch it my back cracks as well.

Any suggestions for remedies? I was going to the chiropractor 3 times a week and didn't really get any relief. THe most relief I've had is from getting stretched during a massage.

I was a college athlete and am only 30, this is the longest I've had any muscle issues and its starting to drive me nuts. Let me know what you think.

Thanks
 
Hi there Have any of the docs recommended muscle relaxers. If they said it was muscle related I don't understand why they didn't offer you muscle relaxers. It seems in this day and age a patient has to ask for some medications. It makes you wonder just where their head is! And so if it were me I would be on the phone to that doc and ask for sometype of muscle relaxer based upon what he told you. Hope things work out for you. Things like that drive me nuts too but I don't have to far to drive!! Jane
