i am a 61 year old male, 6' 230 lbs. I have had lower right back pain for 5 weeks now. I went to my doctor and got pain meds and muscle relaxers, which didn't seem to help. I noticed it seems harder to urinate and I have a weaker stream and I reported back with that a couple weeks after the first visit and she prescribed antibiotics and ordered a PSA test which came back normal at .30. For the last couple of weeks my pain is very mild during the day, but when I go to bed I can only lie on my left side and I awaken after 2-4 hours and can not get comfortable in any position and so I switch to my recliner and can sleep in it pretty much pain free the rest of the night. This has happened every night for the last 2 weeks. We have a sleep number bed and I have tried soft to very firm settings and it doesn't seem to matter. I can only stay in bed a few hours and then the pain sets in, yet I don't have pain in the recliner. i am not sure if the urination change has anything to do with it. It is just a slightly noticeable change and bowel habits are normal. Just wondering what I should have checked out next, or if this is something I am going to have to live with.
