Sound with pain?

I moved a little the other night, nothing strenuous. I heard a loud pop and there was instant excruciating pain in my left side, sort of towards the back. I made my way upstairs in severe stabbing pain and woke up my mom. We went to the E.R. and they checked for kidney stones... nothing. They keep thinking it's muscle but I've never felt muscle pain like this. Sometimes when I move I can still hear a quieter, grinding or popping sound. Can anyone help?? They prescribed me vicodin and a muscle relaxer but they only take the edge off.

Also, I've had a chronic cough for the last few months and there's nothing on the chest xrays. I feel like my body is falling apart and I'm only 20 years old!! Please help, I've seen 3 doctors and all of them just don't know what to do with me.

    I didn't have this problem with my back, but with my shoulder. I went to the Doc, got an MRI, some cortisone shots and percocet. Nothing helped. I moved just the right way a few weeks later (after weeks of excruciating pain) and heard another pop. My shoulder went back in place, no grinding feelings, actually able to move it and only muscle soreness, not the agony of before. The Doc told me she looked at the MRI and I had tendinitous. Yeah, right I had a dislocated shoulder. It sounds to me like you've got something sitting not quite right in it's socket. It doesn't take much, no trauma needed for this to happen. Complain to your Doc and be a pest until they fix it.

    A repetative cough will often times dislodge one or more of the ribs. A tight muscle will pull it out of place or apply a twisting up of the rib itself. When this is accomplished, it may touch the inter-costal nerve and create rather severe pain. You can determine this just by trying to take a very deep breath.. It will stop you from completing that little exercise, when it touches that nerve.

    Of course I am presuming you are referring to the upper back. Which may be an erroneous presumption. But you should clarify where in the back you have the pain.

    Does the pain lie over a rib? If so, it could be a rib fracture and a strenuous cough can break a rib. Subtle rib fractures can be overlooked by a CT scan - especially one that's focusing on looking for kidney stones. They can also be overlooked by an xray. Bone scans will pick them up, however.

    Generally, however, rib fractures are treated just by controlling the pain and waiting for the rib to heal itself. That's why not much time or effort is spent in trying to track them down.

    Have you tried a chiropractor. Maybe you just need and adjustment somewhere. A visit or two can make a difference.

    sounds that you have been checked medically...use heat ...do stretches. If it continues....have an MRI blood work for limes disease, lupus and what ever else the DR. may order.
