What Does Severe Pain In The Lower Back Indicate?

Hi, I’m a 58 year old female and I’m having a lot of problems, If I walk to my kitchen from my bedroom to try and make my self some soup my legs get excruciating painful and I get excruciating pain in my lower back and I have to bend over to try and help the pain so I can make it back to my bed. Within the last couple of hours I have been having seriously tons of pain in my chest and abdomen area kind of like contractions at a level of 10. Also, my pinky finger is dumb on my left hand. I’m sorry, I didn’t know this would cost me money, I’m on Medicaid and I barely get enough money to eat. I have food stamps but by the end of two weeks I have nothing left. I eat cans of green beans or whatever I can get my hands on. Never mind I don’t need your pity.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there, of course life is tough for you out there. What you are having is a symptom of lumbar canal stenosis. This can occur due to a variety of spine related problems. So if your medicaid covers for your visit to a spine surgeon or an orthopedician,i suggest you get an X ray done and go ahead and show it before it becomes too severe. Thank you.
