What Causes Loss Of Appetite With Mild Pain In Lower Back?

Hi. I have been feeling a little weird lately. It first started off with my throat, as I swallowed it felt like a big gulp. Then I gargled with warm salt water and it went away. After that I started not having much of an appetite. I have a minor pain when I turn a certain way in my right lower back. I am also having minor cramps on the left side of my stomach below my belly button. Any idea what this could be?

You have not stated your age. Pain and cramps in your abdomen might be due to some chronic infection like amoebiasis or even because of sny stone in kidneys or ureters or even gall bladder as you are having it on the right side. Cramps plus loss of appetite might be due to chronic infection like tuberculosis. Is all this associated with weight loss? If so and if you are above 40 years, get yourself examined to rule out cancer. So first of all you need to do an ultrasound of abdomen and consult a medical practitioner.
