Experiencing Back Pain & Also Pain Under Ribs & Stomach

Hi, I am experiencing a lower back pain for a while, right now I am sitting down and my left leg is kinda of aching mildly, its like a wavy ache that goes down to my knees or up to my pelvis, but only side only. I am worried this could be something serious, can you help me? additional info : I do birkram yoga, and I feel that it kinda of helps me a little but a few hours later my back starts to go sort of bad again. I had blood test a few months ago and ANA came back positive with 800 elevation and everything else was fine, my bad was in pain back then ( 6 months ago) I once stayed immobile for3 days ( 2 months ago) and that was horrible. I even took a pregnancy test because I was feeling so weird and even my belly would twinge, this afternoon I was sitting and for a few minutes the top left of my stomach under my ribs was in pain and that was very weird, I usually find it hard to rest my legs when I go to bed its like they cant relax. CAn you help me please? Thank You, Olivia Romao

Hello Olivia and welcome.

The pain described by you at that particular location can be related to sciatica and so it would be wise to visit a doctor with the in mind and suggest diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

As for the positive ANA, this is too wide a range and will have to be looked into further. Any other systemic symptoms or changes should be reported to your doctor immediately.

As for the rib pain, this could be due to various gasrrointestinal conditions and may require an ultrasound of your abdomen and pelvis, endoscopy and/or colonoscopy.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
