Pain In Lower Back And Left Abdomen. History Of Kidney Stones And Ovarian Cysts, Had Hysterectomy. Any Ideas?
I started having sudden low back pain and left flank/abdomen. I took a few ibuprophen but still cannot stand up straight without extreme pain. My inner thighs feel strange also. I have a history of kidney stones and ovarian cyst. It doesnt feel like either but i haven't had either one since my hysterectomy (only uterous removed) in november of last year. Not sure what to do, i debating on the ER.

hi.. thanks for writing to HCM.. you have pain in the back and unable to stand straight.. you explain that the pain in different from that of renal calculi/ovarian cyst.. this pain was startted suddenly.. could be muscle sprain.. see your orthopedician for X ray, and analgesics and muscle relaxants.. physiotherapy helps.. all the very best.
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM. With a previous history of renal stones & ovarian cyst , I think your sudden onset of low back pain could be attributed to either of them. * An impacted ureteric calculi can produce similar symptoms * A twisted ovarian cyst also presents with similar symptoms
So, I suggest you to approach a Urologist and Gynecologist to rule out both causes. Hope this helps
