Hi Ive had a pain in my lower back for 4 or 5 weeks now, I thought I had pulled a muscle but the pain doesnt seem to have eased. Its in my lower back about 2-3 inches from my hip bone, sometimes it feels like the pain goes stright through to the front.Should it be something to be concerned about? or just getting a bad back, Im 37.Vanessa
Hello, Welcome at Chat Doctor. I have read details of your question. Pattern of your pain in medical terms is known as pain radiating from loin to groin. Such type of pain is generally seen due to presence of stone in kidney or ureter(tube connecting kidney to urinary bladder). You should do following to have relief--Consult to a general physician.-Get routine blood investigation, ULTRASONOGRPAHY WHOLE ABDOMEN & COMPLETE URINE EXAMINATION.- Chat Doctor. -Take an analgesic with anti-spasmodic like dicyclomine. This will give you relief in pain.-In case report comes in favor of stone then depending on size of stone your doctor will advise you treatment(which can be either medicines or surgery). In other case this pain may be due to strain & you can get relief with few days course of analgesic & physiotherapy. Hope this all will help you. Wish you a happy & healthy life. With best wishes.
