Patients with cholecystitis are at risk of developing back pain, mainly due to nerve entrapment pain. When this occurs, the primary disease, which is cholecystitis, should be treated aggressively first. For less severe cholecystitis, oral anti-inflammatory and cholestatic tablets can be considered; for more severe cholecystitis, intravenous fluids and antibacterial and antispasmodic drugs are also required; and for recurrent cholecystitis, surgical removal should be performed promptly, with laparoscopic cholecystectomy preferred. For more pronounced pain in the posterior dorsal region, the application of certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be considered to relieve the pain symptoms. Of course, back pain in the presence of cholecystitis may also be related to myofascial lesions in the back and disc herniation, and in these cases there is usually a clear past medical history, which makes it relatively easy to diagnose. In addition to the application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, local treatment such as hot compresses, tui-na, massage and acupuncture can also be considered.
