Pain In The Lower Back. Could It Be Fluid Retention?
I have fluid in my lower back and have had so for a few months, following a laparoscopy. It really hurts to twist in certain ways and sometimes for no reason at all. Sitting feels better. It is all lumpy under the skin and moves around. It seems to be getting more. I was told by a muscular skeletal masseuse that its definately fluid. Do I need to go to the doctor? It does seek to be getting worse.

You need to go for check by a doctor, if it is some cyst , it is inflammed causing pain and needs definitive treatment.Try some ibuprofen 400 mg thrice after meals in meantime.
Lower back pain also needs to be checked for the cause in spine by an orthopedics doctor, who might ask for X ray/MRI as per necessity on physical examination

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The description is rather vague - to give leading suggestions...
Where is the 'fluid'? or lump?
Why was laparoscopy done?
You have not stated your personal habits, family history or co-morbidities, even age, gender,
You need examination by a General surgeon, for proper assessment and assistance
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
Without clinical examination it is difficult to comment. It could be cystic swelling. I suggest you to get it evaluated by doctor for proper diagnosis and management.you may get xray, ultrasound of cystic swelling under his/her guidence if required.
Hope this will help you
