<s>[INST] I am experiencing back pain above my waist left side and in my abdomain just below my breasts. This has been going on for 6 days. At times it wakes me up from sleep and I have to get up from lying down. The pain comes and goes but when it hits me it is severe. My urine is clear and not experiencing any burning or any discomfort in that area. So I possible pulled muscle in my back. Would a pulled muscle cause abdominal pain also? [/INST] Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood your history of pain on one side only above the waist line and below the breast indicates that the pain may be due to :- Herpes under eruption.- slipped disc at that particular level. This can be diagnosed by a clinical evaluation, actual physical examination and investigations such as MRI of the spine and as indicated on clinical examination. The correct diagnosis will give a perfect plan for treatment. </s>
