What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Back?
I have a heavy lower back pain that comes every 2nd day. I make sure that I m regular, but it feels like swollen or heavyness. This feeling is on my left side always, lately I feel it becomes more often and more a longer period. Should I worry. My doctor says it is maybe arthritis but to me I sense as if it is in bowels and not a joint issue.
