What Causes Left Abdomen And Back Pain With Spinal Aches?
I have been getting sharp shooting twinges in the left upper and mid abdomen for nearly 2 month, also my upper left back around shoulder blade to spine aches. Tested negative for h pylori. Lansoprazole and ranitidine prescribed by dr are not working so I'm guessing it isn't reflux. A

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The causes of pain in abdomen on left side with back pain and spinal aches.
This is going on for 2 months, also on upper left back around shoulder blade.
Ranitidine and Lansoprazole failed.
This means the problem is local and most probably a part of the Disc problem causing compression on the spinal cord.
I would advise :
MRI of the spine.
Clinical examination by a Neurologist
Further treatment as per the reports and the clinical examination.
