What Causes Increasingly Frequent And Severe Middle Left Back Pain Which Worsens While Lying Down Apart From Nausea And Unpredictable Bowel Movements?

I have been suffering from increasingly frequent and severe middle left back pain, worse when lying down. Epigastric discomfort, particularly after eating, nausea, and unpredictable bowels. I’m also completely exhausted. Restless legs at nights. Should I be concerned?

Hello,

Your symptom is indicative of sprains / strains in the lumber region due to the stretching of muscles and ligaments. Medical conditions that can cause similar symptoms are ankylosing spondylitis, spine osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, spinal tumor, osteomyelitis. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP / orthopedist. Get required blood tests, X-ray, CT, MRI, EMG, EKG, done. Your treatment will depend on the pathology or underlying health condition detected.

The underlying health condition will be treated urgently. You can take NSAIDs, one stat after food to get relief from pain. Hot or cold compression/packs are helpful. Massage therapy will help reduce pain. Take care of your posture. soaking in Epsom salt bath is helpful. Get connected to a Physical therapist. Do regular walking and exercises, massage therapy and CBT are helpful. If obese you should lose weight.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
