I have a sharp, stabbing pain in my mid-back. Could it be esophagitis?

Referred pain caused by esophageal nerve irritation may radiate to the back.

식도염 통증은 가슴 앞쪽뿐만 아니라 등 뒤쪽으로도 나타납니다. 식도와 등쪽 신경이 같은 척수 분절을 공유하기 때문에 발생하는 연관통(Referred Pain)입니다.

  • 위치: 날개뼈 사이 척추 부근(흉추 4-7번)이 뻐근하거나 쑤심
  • 양상: 체했을 때 등을 두드리고 싶은 느낌과 유사
  • 감별: 근육통이나 디스크와 달리 소화 상태에 따라 통증이 변함
💆‍♂️ 스트레칭

굽은 등(라운드 숄더)을 펴주는 스트레칭이 소화와 통증 완화에 도움이 됩니다.
