Lower Back Pain. X-ray Shows Disc Degeneration. Have Pelvic Pressure. Due To Lumbar Problem?
I've had lower back pain for approx. 5 yrs. within the last 6 months it fas gotten worse. I had an X-ray that showed severe disk degeneration l5S1. I'm seeing an orthopedic dr next week. I've had pelvic pressure feeling last 6 weeks. It is not a pain but pressure feeling in low abdomen that comes ang goes. I have normal menses and no gastro problems. I am 46 yrs old. Could the pressure be linked to the lumbar problem?

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
Pressure feeling over low abdomen seems to be due to muscle spasm and lumbar disc problem.
The medications will relieve pain and help muscles to relax. Physiotherapy shall also help a lot, especially exercises that strengthen your back. Kindly note that exercises should only be done when it doesn't hurt. Adequate rest and proper nutrition is equally important. Drink lots of fluids since dehydration affects the disc.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
