Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having severe lower back pain, along with pain in my lower abdomen and distended belly for the last month or so. My bowls appear to be fine, and have had x-rays and ultra sound done. They only thing they have found so far is arthritis in the back and air in the colon. Can these two symptoms be related, and if not, what it could possibly be?
