The back pain chart

Twelve sites where the back reports an internal organ’s trouble

The second full-page chart is a whole-body outline seen from behind, head to heels, the spine a dotted line down the middle, the shoulder blades and lower rib margins dotted curves either side. Twelve labelled call-outs run around it, and together they make a compact statement of something the body does constantly and confusingly: it reports the trouble of an internal organ as an ache in the back wall. (Figure 6.2)

One drafting point must not catch you. The drawing is a view from behind, so the patient's left is on the reader's right — but the twelve call-out boxes have been placed for the sake of the page, the left-sided labels sitting on the reader's left and the right-sided ones on his right, the arrangement that would be correct facing the patient's front. A student who learns the chart as a picture will reverse every side on it the first time he stands behind a patient. Locate these points by anatomy, never by the side of the page: spleen and Mu° on the patient's left; liver, Liv° and appendix on the patient's right. Left Right

Table 4 — The back pain chart, label by label

Label on the chartWhere the arrow landsWhat lies at that level
Cervical painNape, base of the neck, midlineThe seven neck bones and the long muscles either side
Upper Shoulder blade painUpper scapular region, inside the shoulder bladeUpper trapezius, the muscle that lifts the shoulder blade, the small rhomboid, over ribs two to four
Lower Shoulder blade painAt the bottom corner of the shoulder bladeLarge rhomboid, lower trapezius, ribs six to eight; the base of the lung deep to it
Chest painUpper back, beside the spineThe first six thoracic beads, the long back muscles, and the joints where each rib meets the spine
Pain due to spleen disorderLower thoracic, below the shoulder bladeRibs nine to eleven and the fascia of the low back; deep to them, spleen left, liver right
Pain of PancreasMid-thoracic beside the spineLong back muscles, ribs ten to twelve; the pancreas lies at the front of this level
Left kidney pain — Mu° pain pointThe flank, between the twelfth rib and the rim of the hip bone LeftThe square muscle of the low back, the hip flexor, the fat around the kidney, and the kidney
Right kidney — Liv° pain pointThe mirror-image flank RightThe same, the right kidney about half a bone lower because of the liver above it
Mu point pain — inflammation in intestinesLower lumbar, out from the spineLong back muscles and fascia; deep and in front, the descending colon and small-bowel loops
Lumbar / Lt.Ov pain — uterus, prostate gland, urinary tract disordersLower lumbar and upper sacral regionThe junction of low back and sacrum, the joints between sacrum and hip bones; deep in front, the tubes from the kidneys, the bladder, the uterus or prostate
Appendix / Rt.Ov painLower lumbar to the sacro-iliac joint, opposite sideThat joint and the bony knob behind it; deep in front, the caecum and appendix, or the pocket in which the ovary sits
Tail Bone painCoccyx, top of the cleft of the buttocksThe tail bone and its joint with the sacrum; the muscles of the pelvic floor taking their attachment there

The chart is intelligent about a real thing. A pancreas in trouble really does bore through to the mid-back and ease when the patient leans forward; a kidney in trouble really is felt in the loin between last rib and hip rim, running towards the groin as a stone travels; trouble in the womb or prostate really is felt low in the back and over the sacrum. But read it forwards, not backwards. Most back pain at every one of these levels is muscle and posture, and an ache between the shoulder blades is far more often a woman who sews for nine hours than a pancreas. As a prompt — could this mid-back pain be coming from in front? — the chart is good practice; as a diagnosis it is not.
