I am having discomfort on my sides. Above my waist,probably about where kidneys are. It feels more sore when I wake up ,like I m crushing something by lying on it. It limits my movement (like trying to wipe)it seems like it s on both sides but right now only my left is really bothering me.i am relatively healthy. Only diagnosis is of thoracic lumbar scoliosis.
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Lumbar scoliosis can trigger all this clinical situation. You should know that lumbar spine chronic degeneration scan cause chronic back pain. I would just recommend performing a lumbar spine MRI study to exclude possible spinal canal stenosis, although your symptoms are not typical of this disorder. A lot of physical activity to reinforce your back muscles would help reduce the pain. A muscle relaxant or Gabapentin could be helpful too. You should discuss with your doctor on the above options. Wishing all the best,
