Hi all, the last few days I've had sharp stabbing pain in the upper right side of my back. It pains when I breathe in I usually can't take a deep breathe in. It doesn't hurt when you push on it or turn so could it be my lungs?
Do you feel generally unwell or have a temperature or a cough? I see you posted this 2 days ago so you may be feeling OK now but if you are feeling worse then it could be pneumonia or pleurisy. You need antibiotics for either. See a doctor.
Hello, thanks for your reply. I always feel generally unwell, so I'm not sure whether its related or not. I had a fever this morning, no cough. On Friday, I saw a doctor for my 4th armpit abscess and currently am on antibiotics. Whilst I was there, I asked the doctor about my pain and he checked oxygen breathing etc and said it's ok but muscular but most doctors say it's muscular. I started antibiotics when I had the pain and yesterday/today the pain has gone. I've been on antibiotics 3 times in the last month and a bit.
