Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain And Lump Behind Bladder

Posted on Mon, 12 Jan 2015

Question: Shaking all over. I was recently told that i have a 7mm mass behind my bladder that is pushing up against it. I have blood in my urine and a lot of the times i can't urinate, even though i am drinking lots of water.I have lower back pain all the time and cramps in my pelvis where i was told the mass is located at. Last night after i could finally urinate i was in a lot of pain in my pelvis and when i went to lay back down and go to sleep my whole body was shaking, the best way to describe it is like someone having a seizure but i was conscious for the whole thing and it happened two times, i was not cold. I am in tremenous amout of pain.

Brief Answer:
Please go to the ER

Detailed Answer:
The cause of your difficulty in passing urine is the mass pressing on the urine outflow tract.
Since you have been drinking a lot of water, your bladder is full and as there is an obstruction to the urine outflow, the pressure in the bladder is causing the pain.
Please go to the ER. They would catheterize your bladder , remove the urine and relieve your pain.
