What Causes Abdominal Muscles And Lower Back Pain?

3 months ago, I suddenly got pain in my lower left back region and it now affects the whole left flank area. It's impossible for me to bend over to dry my legs after a shower or get up and down using my abdominal muscles. I'm getting very down from the constant immobility and now the doctor says it's depression that's causing the pain. help??!! what has happened to my abdominal muscles?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

Pain in the back for 3 months has to have a reason, this can not be due to depression, nor the pain i the abdominal muscles.

In such a case I would advise you the following::
An opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon and
MRI of the Spine, Back to get to see what exactly is the problem .

I am sure a cause will be found and will be something like a collapsed vertebrae with compression of the nerves or a Prolapsed disc...
Get treated according to the cause and you will be fine .
