What Causes Constant Dull Ache In The Lower Left Back?
Question: constant dull pain in lower left back, between rib cage and top of pelvic bone, 3" horizontally from spine. It has been constant for 10 days, initially in left side only for 1st 2 days , then in both sides for 3 days and last 5 days only on left side, 55 yr old male, went thru lymphoma cancer 1.5 yr ago. Keep thinking Kidneys but doesn't seem to be correct location. Any advice?
Brief Answer:
Hello. It looks unrelated to cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. I understand your concern. So this pain looks unrelated to lymphoma treatment. In my opinion, it is likely due to musculoskeletal sprain and may require some physiotherapy to releive. However an ultrasound of abdomen or a ct scan may be required after a clinicsl examination and a short course of analgesics depending upon the results.
Thanks and regards
