What Causes Lower Back Pain, Fatigue In Legs And Constipation?
For almost 5 weeks now I have had lower back pain -- where the spine ends at the pelvis. I went to see a GP and he tested my urine (normal) and had lumbar spine xray (results not in yet). I have been taking 850mg ibuprofen 2x a day, which helps but one day when I stopped (because I felt better), the back ache returned. I'm now feeling some kind of fatigue sensation down both legs. I also had constipation problem recently -- more often than normal. I'm 63 but otherwise healthy -- no health problems until now. Should I see a specialist -- what kind?
