What Does Pain In The Lower Back Indicate?

Hello there. I am a 56 year old woman and in good health. About 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with a kidney infection but, the doctor was unsure. So they gave me antibiotics and the pain in my back moved lower on both sides. Now I have mild crampy pain on both lower back sides and front. sort of like period cramps but, I went through menopause 8 years ago. This morning i had quite a bit of blood in the toilet when I went poop this morning. 2 other times in my life i had a slight tear that caused a little blood on the toilet paper. This was different. There was a lot of red blood. I could not tell if it was in my stool or on my stool. I have had no blood when I have urinated throughout the day today. However the cramping is persisting. Any suggestions?

hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.

Common Causes of Lower Left Back Pain:-

1.Bulging or herniated discs.
2.Muscle spasms.
3.Pulled back muscle.
4.Muscle imbalances.
5.Muscle strain, injury or trauma to the back muscles, ligaments or joints.
6.Trigger points.
7.Stress / Negative emotions.

If lower left back pain is particularly severe, it may be an indication of a herniated or ruptured disc, or sciatica.

Recommended Treatments for Lower Left Side Back Pain:-

1.Muscle Balance Therapy.
2.Massage Therapy.
3.Trigger Point Therapy.
4.Inversion / Decompression Therapy.
5.Acupuncture / Acupressure.
6.Use a Back Support or Cushion.
7Relaxation, Meditation.
8.Dietary improvements (ie. reducing foods that cause inflammation like dairy, wheat / gluten, sugar, nightshades).
9.Drink more clean, filtered water.

Left Side Back Pain Prevention:-

1. While walking and sitting, keep a relatively upright posture
2. When lifting objects (heavy or light), always lift with the legs-never bend from the waist
3 .Exercise; focus on working out the muscles in the core (abdomen and back)
4. Daily Stretching.

Hope i was helpful.
Have a healthy day.
