Brief Answer:
Slip disc and the flu

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

Do you have fever?

Any tingling or numbness in the legs?

You could be suffering from slip disc which is compressing a Nerve in the spine and causing the problem. Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Apply hot packs to the painful regions. Take Tablet Diclofenac with Thicolchicoside combination twice a day for 5 days after meals and Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day for 5 days before meals. Take Tablet Pregabalin 75mg at night for 2 months. You need to get an Xray and MRI of your spine one got can get your Insurance to cover for them. This will tell the exact diagnosis and can plan for definitive treatment.

You could also be having a Gastrointestinal flu. Eat soft, bland food. Drink WHO Formula Oral rehydration fluid. Avoid spicy,oily and junk food. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Get your stool tested for any parasites. Take Tablet Ofloxacin and Ornidazole combination twice a day for 5 days after meals.

The above medication are prescription drugs except the WHO Oral rehydration Solution.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu

so no pain at all in stomach, when I go the bathroom the stool has zero substance, all light brown and if anything its like small pencil size pieces. but no pain at all. I eat, no nausea.

but stomach gurgles all time sitting and working. and the buttucks and lower back hurt more sitting than any other time. no tingling, just like sharp knife in but cheek or rear lower back, been two weeks.

just don't want tumors or cancers, colon cancer, so worried.
