  1. Ask DoctorBase is a free service for patients on the DoctorBase platform - currently servicing over 6 million American patients of record.
  2. All answers submitted by healthcare professionals (you) are for entertainment purposes only and do not constitute doctor-patient relationships. All patients must agree to this before using Ask DoctorBase.
  3. Our software and our Marketing Engineering staff review each answer and optimize your answers for keywords valuable to your specialty. It is a well kept secret that doctors (you) - not SEO consultants - are the ones who have the most valuable content prized by search engines. Ask DoctorBase "unlocks and optimizes" your content in the most efficient manner possible with today's technology.
  4. Finally, the doctor who provides the most popular answer - "the Featured Answer," gets an added benefit by allowing patients to write rave reviews about your expertise - reviews that are submitted to both Google and Google Local through our Preferred Data Provider relationship.

Sharp pain in lower and left upper back.

Yesterday in class, I had a very sharp pain in the upper left side of my back, and yesterday I had a tennis match and the sharp pain came back, but was under my rib cage on the left. Then last night, I was laying on my back and the pain was super intense in back and stomach area. This morning the pain is still there, but not as intense. It hurts when I take a deep breath though. Should I wait it out as just a growing pain or something or could it be something more serious?

No, rest assured that it is very unlikely to be anything serious. But, I do agree with Dr. Hurley that it would be a good idea to be checked out just to be sure.

Good luck with the tennis!
