Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhao Haiming
Chronic gastritis may cause back pain. It can lead to inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which may occur at any location within the mucosa. If inflammation affects the posterior wall of the stomach, it may irritate nearby nerves, resulting in symptoms such as gastric pain. This pain may also radiate to the upper back, causing back pain.
