Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had severe lower back pain that came on in the early morning when I awoke to it I had done nothing obvious the day prior to that I can recall that would give reason for any pain. it then progressed to get worse constantly as I just tried to do very little to over use it. By that evening it left me in bed completely immobilized in bed exactly where I have been since with the exception of absolute necessary trips to the bathroom due to the fact that it is most painful getting out of bed. Now I have had the mis-fortune of having passed 6 kidney stones over the years and at first I thought it might be that again because the pain can be very much the same to some extent from other lower back pains & kidney pains. But I am urinating somewhat normal and same with bowel movements which both have been affected by the trimmers and spasms that keep coming and going. I m not one for pain medication unless absolutely necessary because it just masks the pain and gives me a reason to accidently mis use whatever it is. This pain is lasting far longer day wise without fluctuating in strength as any kidney issue Ive had before and now it seems after it finally backed off a bit earlier today it is coming back on worse than before at this late hour and is radiating towards the front with out me giving it any reason as I have spent the last three days in bed. Im a Veteran and spent the Christmas with a kidney stone 8 years ago and don t wish to again unless I have to. Can you help me in any way about how much I should be concerned and what I should be concerned about systoms till after Christmas Day at least anyways. Now that I ve finally gotten to the part where they first mention anything about money after me having to go through all the pain of what it took for me to type this in being sincere with the belief I would at the minimum get a somewhat basic answer from a doctor who was genuine in being concerned about people and not the spare change he must be desperate enough to actually spend time doing this obviously because they cant get by being a regular doctor somewhere else because a good real doctor would do this in their spare time for free not only because that s really all one should ever have to pay for advice given without personal intervention but also that s all a real good doctor would charge for the very same advice if they really gave a shit. I would rather call my ex wife and wake her up, she is a nurse that I paid for long ago that still at least gives a shit about people, even her ex husband!!!!!
