What Causes Pain In Lower Left Back Radiating Towards Abdomen?

over the past 48 hours, i have been having an increase in pain on my left lower side and back area. The skin is sensitive to touch (about an area larger then a hand). The pain has started to move into my abdomen. Is this something that I should be more concerned about? Should I seek further medical attention?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in lower left back radiating towards abdomen . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons like muscle spasm , disc problem , kidney problem , indigestion or working in same posture for long time . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to back several times a day , take proper rest , change your posture after after every few minutest while working and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon if condition doesn't get better . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI or x-ray . Doctor may recommend particular stretching exercises , physical therapy , muscle relaxant or anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist for gastric problem or nephrologist for kidney problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
