question:Hello, I m Nola ~ I m 48 yrs., not pregnant & while shopping yesterday I developed a severe lower back pain, cramping like period pain in lower bowls or female area (not period), pain in between my legs. At this time I tried using the bathroom with no luck. So I tried to continue shopping & got water (I m abnormally thirsty) to drink, couldn t bear drinking because I started to get super weak, my face felt hot & flushed. My heart was throbbing so hard I could feel it in my neck & face (cheeks); even my arms became so very week I couldn t hold on to the shopping cart. The Manager & Pharmacist assisted me & wanted to call Paramedics, but I needed to get home to my daughters, so they wheeled me to my car. Now, upon arriving home I needed help once again & I went to bed....Woke-up this A.M. & still in great discomfort & very weak I tried to cook brunch for my girls but kept burning the food (I d like to think that this is rare for me)! After my attempt I had great sharp pains in my back & gut & then had diarrhea (just a little bit) & it was pink mucus & further into it, it had gotten a bit brighter & a little more red in color, no odor.....I was so weak & panting & my lower back was screaming in pain & my pelvic & lower right abdomen aches! As I ve been writing this; it seems after half a word to a few words I keep fallllllling asleeeeeep!!! Not liiiiike me at all.....And it s taken me a few hours to complete this note to you! Ridiculous! Thank you in advance & any thoughhhhhhts would be great! Sincerely, Nola Mumzeeeee
answer:Hi Nola,Welcome to HCM.I am suspecting a gut infection based on your symptoms. Infection of gut might have caused abdominal pain, diarrhea, and dehydration. Sometimes this pain can radiate to the back and upper thighs.I suggest you get a stool exam done for microscopy and culture to rule out infection. Mean while I suggest you take Tab Buscopan twice daily after food. Drink adequate water. Take fluid diet for the next few days. Rest as much as possible.If stool exam shows infection, get in touch with your GP for a prescription of appropriate antibiotics or antiparasitic medications.Thanks.
question:Hi I am 16 years old an am going to be 17 in 10 days and live in the state of colorado i have twisted vertebrae in my back and have constant back pain, also i have problems eating and sleeping, I was curious to know if i could get a medical marijuana license for these issues, marijuana seems to be the only thing that helps me, im just not sure if i would be able to get it for these issues. Thank you for your time
answer:Hi, You are too young to start such drugs use although under strict medical supervision. However, you can discuss with the neurologist to determine the level of your pain and getting the right pain-killer for you. Usually, NSAIDs are prescribed, but in your case, if they do not work, I recommend to take pain killers of opioid drug class. Hope it helped!
question:Hi, I'm a 19 year old female , and lately my lower back (near my tailbone) has started hurting. My neck also feels sore and I crack it often to relieve the stiffness. It's not terribly painful , but sometimes it's difficult to sit down and it hurts when I bend or stretch. Since I'm in university, I spend lots of time sitting on hard cramped chairs with attached desks. I'm in decent physical condition, weight 56kg and height 5'4". I am fairly active but haven't worked out in a long time , so it can't be because of suddenly working out vigorously. I haven't fallen or injured my self at all, except for a minor ankle sprain. My lower back hurts and it's almost impossible to bend over and hurts when I was. I was taking mobizox for the possible inflammation . Any diagnosis or suggestions?
answer:Hello, I have studied your case. Due to sitting on hard surface for long time sacrum seems to be injurerd due to microtauma there may be fibrosis formationDo hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside.Use ring cushion and take sitz bath.If not relieved then local injection may be required.Hope this answers your query.

question:My lower back grinds all the time, with every step I make my friends feel it just placing a hand on my lower back and I walk a few steps. I'm 5, 9 1/2 tall and weigh 317. female. the pain varies from moment, to a slight ach to where the pain shoots through me to my feet, and/or hands and most of the time shake with the pain. I'd rather have a C-section belly down with no drugs again. then keep living with this pain. my dr says there is nothing wrong from my x ray. what can I do? and what might be wrong. 2 years & i'm feeling hopeless.
answer:Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum. You are suffering with low back pain. You are 5'91/2"tall, and 317lb weight. The weight it self is the cause of the pain. in addition there could be pressure of the fat on the nerves. So i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Avoid taking fatty foods, junk foods, and fries, and calories. I prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then one every week, fortnight, and monthly. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.

question:Our son, now 45 has what we thought for years was Arthritis. I am not sure how to spell it, or if this is the complete name....spondalosis, or spondalitis? It is an intense source of neck pain, and now has progressed down his back into his hips. The doctors in the past told him that his neck and hips were "fusing" to the point of lack of mobility. A new doctor is telling him that it is not arthritis, but a blood disease? Can you clear up some of the confusion?Thank you,Joan Snedden
answer:Hello, I have studied your case with diligence.As per your history there is possibility of polyarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, does he have such complain?Ankylosing spondylitis typically involve spine and hips with other large joint also. There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased does she have such stiffness in spine? Harmone imbalance like hypothyroidism also leads to similar complain.so check your thyroid profile. For diagnosing blood disease investigations will be required.Hope this answers your query.
