1311995 2012-11-11 23:17:00 Pain is on the outside of the ribs. Might have done something while playing cricket, I'll give it a couple more days then go to the docs.

1311996 2012-11-12 00:37:00 The mind boggles at that statement Gary...

Speaking of cold, that reminds me of the old joke...

Is that Dick Green?

No, it's blue with the cold

1311997 2012-11-12 01:19:00 I've been having some upper back pain for the last few days, a sharp stabbing feeling. It occurs when swallowing, and seemingly random intervals throughout the day. The place where the pain is occurring is a bit below my right shoulder. Any ideas as to the cause of this?
Nick,
Go to a doctor for a checkup and maybe an ultrasound scan.
I don't want to alarm you but... sharp pain could be gall stones or gall bladder problem. (Speaking from experience!)
Google "symptoms of gall bladder attack" ..."in the back; under the right shoulder blade, or between the shoulder blades". And if the description fits go see a doctor.

1311998 2012-11-12 02:03:00 If you are really worried go to a doctor and forget any of the recomendations on this thread. This is not a medical forum. Self diagnosis is a very bad habit to get into. I mentioned to my doctor once about going on the internet to find out about health issues. He just looked at me with a big frown on his face and said nothing. No one hear is a qualified GP. There are so many ailments with similar signs. Life is precious.

1311999 2012-11-12 02:10:00 ^ What Trev said!!

In someone a bit older and in an 'at risk' category, those symptopms could also signify a heart attack (I speak from experience!).

1312000 2012-11-12 02:22:00 Not too worried at the moment, as it only really seems to be when swallowing. Sometimes when bending a certain way, but mostly only when swallowing. I'll give it a couple of days and see if it comes right, otherwise will probably take it to a doctor and see.

edit - Jocar, I think I can rule out a heart attack - I'm not really the age where it is common ;)

1312001 2012-11-12 02:31:00 Nick,

Go to a doctor for a checkup
Don't wait a couple of days, don't wait until you are really worried, the fact that you raised the question here shows that you are uncertain. There is one way to settle this:
Go to a doctor for a checkup
Even allowing for the fact that none of us 'here' are medically qualified the overwhelming advice is
Go to a doctor for a checkup
