My girlfriend has been getting back pain for a few days. It suddenly came while she was bathing. She mentions that its on the left side of her lower back. It didnt get better after seeking treatment from a principal physiotherapist. She went to the doctor to get it checked and was asked to visit a gynae. Any idea what might be the problem?
Hello Left sided lower back pain may be due to many reasons like musculoskeletal causes, pelvic pathology, genitourinary calculus etc. History suggests that pain may be due to muscular spasm. She needs proper clinical examination and routine investigations. Investigations include routine hologram,renal function test, urine RE/ME, ultrasound of abdomen, X-ray L/S spine (AP /lateral). Ultrasound of abdomen is important in diagnosis and treatment. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
