Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
im experiencing significant pain in the lower back region approx. 3 to 4 inches to the left of the spine and just above the waist line. also seem to have a lack of energy/fatigue. this has been occuring far the past couple weeks and the pain was intense upon waking up this morning along with mild nausea. i am an automotive technician and first believed this to be muscle fatigue but the pain seems to be deeper than muscle pain and there is no tenderness at the surface. getting to a doctor is not so easy with my current work load yet the discomfort is beginning to be a destraction. any recommendations would be appreciated. thank you
