What Causes Sever Pain On The Upper Middle And Back While Suffering From Viral Meningitis?
Hi I am a male 32 years old, 183cm (6ft) 115Kg, I suffered from viral meningitis (swelling of the brain) and was prescribed 3 different stong pain medications, 1 Panadine Forte, 2 Tramadol 3 Endone, I was administeded a fair amount of drugs during the 2 days I was at hospital and then sent home with the above mentioned drugs to manage the pain, which lasted 2 to 3 weeks. I am better now but awake each and every morning with severe and extremly painful upper to mid back pain, it feels as though an elephant has sat on my chest all night and the pain is deep in my back not my chest or front. Could liver damage be causing this pain?

Thank you for the question. If there is no accompanying fever with back pain then it is not due to infection.Lie in hard bed, do hot fomentation, take tramadol 100mg BD and chloraxazone 500mg BD for 3-5 days.Get in touch with an orthopedist.
It is unrelatedto liver pathology,however, to remove doubt get LFT,serum creatine,urea,K,Na test done
