have beendoing physical therapy for a ruptured disc on my lower back. The pain in my legs has greatly subsided but the pain that drops me to my knees a still there. Ir seems to be more around the left side of my back and torso. I can press on my lower abdomen below my naval and it causes pain and discomfort in the back. I seem to notice a correlation between eating and laying down too soon. The pain is so sharp I have trouble not yelling out. I am wondering if I could have an intestinal problem as well as the ruptured disc
