What Causes Pain In Lower Back And Frequent Urge To Defecate?

I started feeling discomfort about a week ago. I had a dull pain in lower back and quite sore on the right side. The right side does not seem to playing up now but the lower back I still causing discomfort. I have a constant urge to go for a bowel movement, which includes once I get there it happens every other time. It s uncomfortable to sit, like it s in my rectum and under my tail bone. I feel generally off and a little shaky. As the day progresses I feel worse and have had a bit of a fever later in the day. I don t have any blood present, nor does the stool or urine smell bad. It doesn t actually hurt to go to the toilet. I am having to sleep on my side or stomach to get any relief.

Hi,

Fever, backache and frequent urge to defecate might suggests an infection, probably of the lower bowel. Sometimes urine infection can also present like this. This might need antibiotic treatment for few days. If I were your treating doctor, after examining and doing a urine routine test, I would have given an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin for 5 days, along with analgesics. Kindly discuss with your doctor. Meanwhile, you can take Paracetamol 3-4 times a day to relieve pain and fever.

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

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
