What Causes Pain In Lower Back, Left-sided Abdomen And Legs?
Question: Hi, I have a dull continous pain on my left hand side, near to my hip. My lower back aches at the moment and sometimes feels like its moving down my leg. I'm not sure if these are connected or not. I've been to the doctors who tested me for a water infection, which was ruled out. The pain seemed to increase (slightly) when I needed to pass a stool and maybe when I eat some spicy food / had a glass of wine during the week. I have also has an itchy anus, which gets worse at night for some strange reason. I've bought some IBS tablets but I havent taken them for long and have another doctors appointment tomorrow. I'm not doubled over in pain but the aching pain is there all the time and the itching is driving me nuts at night and the dull aching in my side :-(

Brief Ans-Left IBS with Pinworm Proctitis/Sciatica / Under Assessment
Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read and Reviewed your facts in context to your health concerns.
My Impression-
On review of your query,You seem to suffer from-Left IBS with Pinworm Proctitis and Sciatica.
The fact that the dull aching pain increases on eating spicy food, confirms the Colitis with IBS and proctitis, as the pain increases with stool passing.
The fact that the said pain goes down the leg, confirms Sciatica from Spastic Colitis-irritating Sciatic Nerve and causing leg pains.
Possibility of Pinworms is confirmed by history of -night itching in nuts,which is very specific in Oxyuriasis-from small white worms.
Do's Suggested-
Stool test with ova/ cyst for pinworm.
Consult Physician and Surgeon to confirm by physical examination and investigations.
Hope this reply would help in resolving your anxiety and worry and would help you to plan treatment with your doctors there.
