What Helps With Severe Back Pain ? Feeling Nauseous And Had Diarrhoea.

I have had severe back pain since Tuesday morning and cannot lay down for more than 2 hours. For a while I was able to walk around but now have pain over the entire middle body section from under the breasts to the bottom of my stomach. I have tried the heating pad and taken Robax but I am still extremely painful. I seem to get better until I lie down for a couple of hours and now the pain is severe. I am also feeling nauseas and had dirareha Monday night and Tuesday night although that seems to be better.

Hi, thank you for posting.

Your symptoms might be related to food poisoning. Food poisoning is manifested with: nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, etc.

In rare cases these cases are caused by campylobacter infection. This infection can cause arthritis, too.

So you need the following tests to determine the diagnosis:
1. Stool culture.
2. Urine test.
3. Complete blood count.
4. Liver function test.
5. Abdominal Ultrasound.

If the diarrhea continues I recommend you to go to Emergency Room, where you will get the right treatment for stopping diarrhea and dehydration by rehydration.

Contact your gastroenterologist.

I hope you find this helpful.

I wish you a fast and healthy recovery.
Dr. Behar.
