What Causes Occasional Sharp Pain In Mid Back?
Question: Hi I have an occasional sharp pain in my middle left back that feels like an aching organ of some sort (not a spine issue). I drank a lot over the New Year's weekend and suspect that is the cause. What could it be?
Brief Answer:
Can be muscular pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query
After going through your query, I concluded that you may be having muscular pain as muscle aches are known to occur due to excessive alcohol intake.
This is likely to get better by rest, hydration ( drinking a lot of water), vitamin B complex supplements and analgesic such as ibuprofen.
You should be OKAY in two to three days. If no relief is there then you can visit your Doctor for examination and ultrasound may be needed to rule out any organ issue. You can discuss with your Doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered.If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
Wishing you a good health .
Take care.

Would this sharp muscle pain on the left back side from drinking last over 24 hours?
Brief Answer:
Can last over 24 hours if proper rest and hydration has not taken
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back
Muscular pain after drinking can last over 24 hours if proper rest and hydration has not taken but it should gradually decrease in intensity.
However if you have other symptoms such as abdominal pain , nausea, fever and vomiting etc then you should visit doctor to rule out causes such as pancreatitis by ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query.
