Can Cyst Near Colon Be Symptom Of Back Pain?

I m having a lot of low back pain and was diagnosed last week with some blood trace in my urine. Currently taking metrezonale(?) 3 x s a day, but my back pain is no better. My Dr. recommended I see a G I DR. but my earliest appt. was for a whole month from now. My back pain seems worse and I only feel comfortable laying flat on my back. I have not had any injuries to this area other than a UTI. I made an appt. with my Colonoscopy Dr. for 8 days from now. Will this Dr. be able to diagnose like a G I Dr?I had a cat scan that showed a cyst near my colon. Could this be causing the pain? I m 69 yrs. old female.

Hello,

At your age, Lumbar spondylosis is very common. You should an orthopedic no and get an x-ray for lumbosacral spine (AP & lateral).

As you mentioned, you feel comfortable by lying flat on the floor Lumbar spondylosis is the probable cause. If it is the case, then you should get physiotherapy for back muscles strengthening.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
