Suggest Treatment For Severe Waist Pain

I am having on and off sharp pain (not lasting long) on right side waist area and haven t had a bm since Saturday and today is Wednesday. Started taking Miralax yesterday and had very small bm tonight but very oddly snapped...bm looks as if it squeezed pass something. Curious if the Miralax will get things going or should I go see a doctor? I m not on any meds and no major surgeries in past.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Waist pain can be due to nerve compression.
Usually nerve compression cant be seen on x ray you may need MRI for this.
There may be age related spondylitis but if there is any nerve compression then that may need specific treatment.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
