Need Treatment For Lower Back Ache Progressed To The Lower Abdomen Up To Sternum. Concerned About Colon Cancer.

Last night I developed a lower bck ache and this progressed roung to my lower abdomen and up to my sternum. I have now had it for 24 hours, and the only thing that seems to help is a hot wheat bag wrapped around me. I am not constipated and am burping quite a bit, but it does not seem to ease the discomfort. I do get concerned as my mum died from colon cancer, but I am only doe to have my next colonoscopy next year.

Hi,I can understand your problem.The nature of pain which you are narrating is not associated with colon cancer.You need to get a physical examination along with USG abdomen to rule out any other cause.
Thanks
