Re: Mid to lower back pain/Jean

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info. I don't think I have any problems with my Aorta

since I had a Eco done a while back and everything was just perfect.

I do have pain in my right rib cage though at times and my doc thinks

it may be inflammation since I have mctd. The back pain is also on

the same side so maybe it is radiating down. It definitly isn't in

my pelvic or hip area though. I also have some muscle atrophy on my

right side (my trapezius muscle to be exact) and doc said it may be

that things are out of wack on that side. I am going to have to have

someone look into it further.

I am sorry you have the pain you experience. Its not fun.
