I have had a 2 day course of antibiotics to treat a water infection, the pains seemed to ease of but have now come back again. I have also been constipated over the last 6 days, I have had 2 bowel movements but am in lots of abdominal pain and pain in my lower back. Could the symptoms be related?
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Pain in abdomen & lower back suggests either musculoskeletal pain or urinary tract stone related pain. Do you have any urinary complaints/fever? Stone in ureter causes obstruction to urine outflow & smooth muscles in ureter contract excessively to overcome this obstruction and so is the severe pain. In such cases in my clinic, I advise ultrasound abdomen & pelvis, X-ray PUB, urine & stool routine, CBC, BSL, renal function tests. Treatment is done accordingly. Chat Doctor.
