What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Question: I have an extremely sharp uncomfortable pain in my lower left back/side. I keep feeling waves of nausea. What do you think it could be?
Brief Answer:
Needs investigations.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Lower back pain on one side is quite COMMON. Back muscle strain is one of the MOST common causes of acute to severe lower back pain. Lifting a heavy object, twisting, or a sudden movement can cause muscles or ligaments stretch or develop microscopic tears.
Some other underlying causes like Sciatica, Spondylitis, Lumbar herniated disc, Degenerative disc disease, Isthmic spondylolisthesis renal calculi etc should be ruled out through clinical examination and radiological investigation (like X- ray, CT scan, Myelogram, MRI etc). Kindly, consult with Orthopedic surgeon regarding this for proper management of the case.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
