Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain
I have a bruise on my right side. Have not hit it or been hit by anything. 2 days later, I am having lower back pain. I am going to the bathroom normal, and have not seen blood in anything. What could cause this. This is the 2nd time this happened in the last year

Hi i did review your concern and question.
Your lower back pain can be due to multiple reasons. I would advice you to consult a rheumatologist for complete evaluation including
-xray,cbc,esr,crp
-MRI spine,HLAb27 if required afterwards
Finding the right cause is important to start right treatment in backpain
About the bruise you need to be investigated for CBC,platelet count and coagulation profile. Also both back pain and bruise can be related with respect to an autoimmune phenomenon.
I hope this helps
LEt me know if any more questions or concerns
Wish you best luck ahead
