What Causes Pain In Lower Back And Left Abdomen?

Posted on Mon, 19 May 2014

Question: I am a 56 yr old female with MS. Overall feeling bad with lower back pain, pain in left abdomin. The beginning of day its tolerable, but after an hour of running errands I began feeling loopy and very tired. Also, small lump appeared yesterday on back of head. Went to doctor. He tested for UTI. Here are the results:
SG = 1.030
pH 5.5
LEU 1+
Blood test result came back normal. Nothing out of range. The WBC is 5.1
The small lump on back of head is a lymph node.
These symptoms happen occasionally and are quite debilitating. Every time the symptoms appear urine comes back negative. A full course of Cipro knocks out these strange and painful symptoms.
I want to eradicate this problem for good!
Does the doctor have any suggestions?
