Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
IHi, can I answer your health question? Please type your question here.... I have had chronic lower right back pain that goes down through my leg at least once a day for the past 7 months. Along with the lower back pain I developed a uti and constipation for the past 2 days. Do you think there is a link between the two issues ?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have gone through your details and in my opinion there is a definite link between your pain and UTI + Constipation. What came first - I cannot say at present. I would recommend pain killers , urine test -routine and culture, and A MRI of back to rule out any degenerative disc disease. Back Exercises and physiotherapy may also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
