Dr. Shen Yonghua
Duodenal ulcers may cause back pain. In severe cases, a duodenal ulcer can lead to localized perforation, which may result in referred neuropathic pain to the back. It is recommended to promptly consult a physician and undergo gastroscopy for accurate diagnosis and precise localization of the ulcer.
