What Does Pain In The Lower Back On The Left Side Indicate?
i have been experiencing lower back pain located about hip level on my left side. I went to doctor i thought is was a urinary tract infection. He said it was a muscle. Did a urine test and there was no evidence of a uti. I have done some exercises and it does help some but still is there. I have been taking motrin or tylenol. And drinking water or gatorade. Any other suggestions. I have a diabetes check up next week. YYYY@YYYY
Hi thank you for querry, As you mentioned your symotoms regarding backache so its ruled not a UTI, you continue the pain killer along with muscle relaxant like Thiolax 4mg PO twice per day. After your diabetes test may require urine comlete or may be neurogenic pain mostly in diabetic patient. Hope the answer will help you. wish you a good and pain free helthy life.
