What Causes Pain In The Abdomen And Middle Back?

I have stomach pains and middle back and side pains and have been constipated for 5 days. I m seeing a urologist and have some bladder issues that are being addressed, but the back and side pains (which started on the left side at night) have gotten worse. Should I be seeing another type of specialist?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

The overall pain you are experiencing
on sides,front and back can be because of constipation/urinary tract problems like stones/pancreatitis.

You said you are visiting urologist for bladder issues.You may go ahead with it.USG abdo which will be advised to you will rule out any intra abdominal problems.Accordingly,further steps can be taken.
For constipation,you can have stool softener like syrup liquid paraffin 3 tsps at bedtime for 3 successive nights.Include more of high fibrous food in your diet and minimum 8-10 glasses of water per day.
The pain of pancreatitis is usually severe associated with nausea and vomiting.It is associated with heavy drinking.Its possibilty is less if you dont these things are absent in your history.

For now,you can have tab mefenamic acid and an antacid that may give some pain relief.

Hope I answered your query.
If any more query,feel free to ask.
