What Causes Weakness In The Lower Back And Abdomen?

my lower back fels weak, my abdomen & left lower leg have edema. I took crestor for about 8 days & had very odd ache around my rib cage to my back. Doc said stop taking it for now & pain went away! Soon like a month later the edema started. I have had CT Scan every gynecological biopsy-negative. Even a CA125 - negative- What is going on??

The oedema is only in one leg?

Lower back pain is understandable. If your intervertebral disc spaces are with correct gaps, no need to worry. Otherwise proper lumbo sacral support by belt may be needed. Some physiotherapy may be done. Avoid pain killers.

Oedema in one leg may worry if it increases in one leg only. Watch for stiffness or heaviness and pain in that leg. If aggravates, you may have to get the help of surgeon for any possible DVT ( though possibility with given symptoms are less but do not take risk).

Hope it helps you.
