Re: pain in upper back..............help

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathy, first be sure to sign off. we do our name, diagnosis and

the year and state. This helps us to keep up with whom we are posting

to.. Now, At one point i was having pain in my back also, Dr Akindipa

said it was muscle spasms from the coughing.. With a lung disease I

really just blame everything on it..

Who is your pulmonary Dr.?

Last Thursday night, I developed a sore throat. When I woke up on

Friday, I had no voice and a nagging non productive cough. This

remained until Tuesday when my voice came back and the cough became

somewhat productive,,,,not enough to bring up though......just like

from a cold. Since then, I have had the sore throat during the night

only and the cough continues in the morning and evening. Last night

during the night, I developed this sharp pain in my back just under my

xhoulder blade.........this really hurts when I take a deep breath and

also when I cough.......any ideas......i sure could use some advice. I

do have IPF and I am not allowed to take any over the counter

meds.........only prescription meds.

Thanks and take care,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hope you all can have an easy day

First of all I think you should tell your doctor that there is pain present. Pain sometimes means pneumonia. For me it usually means that I have coughed so much and so hard that muscles, etc have been pulled. I have also broken 3 ribs from coughing.

The worst thing that can happen to you is pneumonia and infections. I keep antibiotics available and the doc lets me decide when I need to start them. He always tells me to err on the side of caution. I can usually judge by having hard chills, excessive exhaustion, excess mucus and sometimes but not always temperature.

Don't let anything get a head start. Take care of you!

--- > Peggy,

I have not figured out how to set my signature.........guess you could

say I am computer challenged. I live in Davenport......which is exit 58

on I4 towards Disney.

I have a local pulmonologist which is where I took the 6 month PFT on

Thursday and will meet with him next week for the results. When I go to

Shands on 11/5, I guess they will assign me one up there unless they

say there is nothing they can do for me.

take care, and have an easy day!!

> Joyce,

Thanks for writing. My dr. is out of town, recovering from her own

surgery.and I am going to try to get through the weekend. She will be

back on Monday.

I dil is a nirse, so I will ask her to stop in this weekend and listen

to my lungs and see if she thinks they are clear. You are right about

one thing, I was on a coughing jag that woke me up from a sound

sleep............lasted for about 10 minutes and then I fell asleep and

woke up a short time later with this pain. If I am trying to explain

which side. If I am looking forward it is on my ight side, away from

the heart.

Take care and thenks for writing.

Hey Kathy, You are about an hour and a half from me. When you go N 75

and see the Silver Springs 9 miles. I am just 14 miles from

there..lol.. we gotta do lunch or whatever. I think you will like

the Doctors at Shands. I love Dr Antony she is Dr. Baz's boss. I

tease Dr. Akindipa about telling on him. She has been my Dr from day

one there. She came in to see me and said " I'm going to be your Dr. "

So I call her " My Doctor " face to face or e-mail..lol She is very

special and in the PFT lab on the 6th floor you will see some of Dr

Baz's patients. They all seem to just love him. Everyone at Shands is

just as nice as can be.

Love and Prayers, Peggy

Kathy, I forgot to tell you, go to the " MAIL " on the top bar and then

to preferences. You should see signatures and you just put what you

want. You can always go back and change it.
