Last night I came home from a dinner out with this pulling like pain in my upper left back, under the ribcage. I went to bed thinking maybe that I just sat oddly during dinner, straining my back or something. I woke up several times during the night due to the pain. I had to turn over, unable to sleep on my left side. The pressure of laying on the bed seemed to hurt, especially when I lay on my left side. I took three Advil and the pain seemed to be more manageable throughout today. I would turn and feel the pain, especially when I turn to my right and I'm sitting. Later on today I started noticing that when I'm sitting and leaning forward, or for instance, while I was putting groceries away, I started to get a tingling from the area of pain that radiates throughout my back. I can also feel the pain in my front area, just under the ribs..although not as prominent. I didn't do any strenuous exercise and I didn't lift anything real heavy the day(s) before the pain started, so I'm at a loss as to what this could be. I have been feeling real tired and my stomachs been bothering me. I take metformin once a day (1000 mg) and am on 150 mcg of Levoxyl...I've been on both meds for quite some time and it's never bothered my stomach like it's been bugging me lately. I don't seem to have a fever. I usually go to see my doctor if symptoms last more than a week, but this is just unusual enough for me to wonder whats up.
