What Causes Severe Lumbar Pain Radiating Towards The Abdomen?
I have had severe lumbar pain that radiates straight through to my abdomen. I have lost 12lbs in 2.5 weeks without trying. With chronic pain issues, I am taking 10mg of opanaER 3/day along with lidoderm patches & it still doesn t help enough. It is a continually gnawing pain. Any thoughts? I have an esophageal disorder & received botox injections twice in my LES.

hi
thank you for writing to healthcare magic
you seem to be suffering from renal (kidney)
if the stone is small it may pass out of your system on its own. For that you should take the following treatment:
1. stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids , mainly water ( at least 10-12 glasses per day)
2. your fluids can also include lemonade and orange juice
3. if you stay in hot weather you may need even more fluids
4. avoid heavy strenuous activity
5. avoids foods like
a) animal proteins- meat eggs and fish
b) spinach, rhubarb, nuts and wheat
bran
c) canned soups and vegetables
6. if pain is more you can take anti inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen
if things do not improve with above you will need further investigations in the form of Xray or ultrasound
wishing you a speedy recovery
