Have Middle Back Pain, Shoulder Blades Pain, Headaches, Had Non Functioning Pituitary Tumour. What Is The Cause?

Hi, My name is Todd, I'm 50 years old, and have been experiencing chronic sharp pain in my middle back just below, and sometimes between my shoulder blades for 9 months. The pain went away for 6 of the 9 months, but returned about 2 months ago. Laying down helps; I wake with no pain, but by the middle/end of the day it becomes severe. I started having severe headaches 8 months ago and discovered that I had a non-functioning pituitary tumor which I had removed in November. The headaches stopped, but have recently returned and am wondering if they could be related to the back pain? I am in good shape, have no weight loss and appetite is normal, and am wondering what could be causing the back/head pain? Thanks so much! Todd

You should be meeting your doctor who removed pituitary tumor to evaluate if there is any residual growth which can be done on MRI of head..Headaches couldn't be related to your back problem.
