What causes a huge bruise in the middle of my back?
Patient: I have went to a chiropractor alot and they are never able to help me. And for the last several years in the middle of my back, right on my spine, I feel like I have a huge bruise. It hurts for my shirt to even touch it, but there is no skin discoloration at all. It's extremely sensitive. What should I do? Doctor: HiThanks for your queryAfter going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. You need to done MRI to rule out other causes. Back exercises, neurotropics such as mecobalamine and analgesics such as diclofenac give relief. Serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
