What Causes Nausea And Pain In Lower Back Radiating Towards Abdomen?

I wake up every other, if not every morning, with this overwhelming feeling of nausea that sends me to the bathroom. I ve had soft stools for over a year now with maybe five or six solids. Tops. And I ll proceed to empty myself from both ends, last for nearly two hours. Coming in waves of extreme pain, in my lower back and my stomach, it wakes the house by leaving me screaming in pain in the bathroom. Then after about two hours I can move cause my body gets used to the floods of pain, and the constant ache, so I start my day. Which as of a couple of days ago, involve me not being able to wear a shirt because it feels like the skin on my back is on fire. And my shoulders and top of my chest area. I had to put a shirt on yesterday, and I felt like I was going to pass out. It was like it weighed 500 lbs, and was ripping my skin off. Physically exhausting me to wear this item, all the while like someone was holding a flame to my body. I ve gotten some tests done, and my kidneys are fine. Ultrasound shows its all fine. I just turned 21, I don t drink, I don t have a labor demanding job, and I don t do anything to naturally cause my body to feel this way. It stops me from eating, though I usually put on pounds still for some reason. My right eye goes blurry, and a few times in both eyes it s all just gone black, and everytime I stand up or stretch, everything gets fuzzy, I can t see straight, goes black, then I go back down. Even though I make it a point to stand up slowly hoping to avoid as such. And my feet and hands often go numb. Idk if its all related, or all seperate, but if you could give me any ideas as to what it might be, that would be amazing. I had similar abdominal pain at 13 and they told me I had gallstones, but I passed them. Then at 16 the pain came back way worse and they told me they were back and now the whole thing was infected, so they removed it. But the pain didn t stop and still continues. My mom thinks that could be tied in too. She also thinks they removed it for no reason cause the pain being so prominent, the surgeon said looking at my gallbladder, it made no sense for me to be in such extreme pain. It s not all in my head. And if I hear that one more time, I might implode.. So please, anything helps.

Hello,

Probable causes of your left back pain radiating to abdomen and nausea are:
1) Renal stones
2) Acute appendicitis
3) Leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm
4) Pancreatitis
5) Abdominal abscess
6) Biliary colic
7) Acute epididymitis in male
8) Pelvic inflammatory disease in females
9) Pyonephrosis
10) Liver abscess

To detect renal stones CT scan would be the best method. Mostly your symptoms point towards renal stones. To those who come to my clinic with similar symptoms, I would recommend the following:
1) A CT scan of abdomen and pelvis
2) Complete urine examination
3) Urine culture
4) Complete blood picture
5) Thorough clinical examination
6) If it turns out to be kidney or ureteral stone
Drink lots and lots of water to flush the stone out
Tab. Urispas 200mg twice a day for 4 days to reduce pain.
Tab. Ondansetron for nausea
7) If it's not kidney stone, i would look for the other mentioned causes.
Please consult a physician and have the above tests done.

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

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
