What Causes Black Stool And Severe Back Pain?

Two weeks ago I had a bad fall and fractured a rib right behind my left lung. I was given an X-rays in the emergency room and pain medications which I stopped 1 week ago. I was feeling better and breathing much better after one week. My problem is that I have had very black stools the past 3 days and more intense back pain.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

As a physician I would like to tell you that reasons behind black stools are:

- Food patterns
- Abdominal bleeding
- IBD
- Gastritis

Thus, I would like to suggest that you should take Tab Zarodol for your back and do visit a physician if your stool colour remains black after 7 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Abhijeet
