How To Treat Pain In Back And Abdomen Due To Calcification In Lymph Nodes?

I have a calcified granuloma in one of my right lower pelvic iliac chain lymph nodes. I have been experiencing a lot of right side lower back and lower abdomen pain I went to the doctor and they ordered a CT scan it showing that there is more calcification appearing in the lymph node. the doctor has prescribed 600-800mg of ibuprofen three times a day. is thereanything else that I could do for the pain it seems like a lot of Motrin, and could this be causing so much pain?

Hi.
This is a very rare finding of having calcified lymph nodes causing so much pain as described by you.
Ideally the lymph node should be removed for further evaluation, and also a diagnostic laparoscopy may find the cause of why lymph nodes are enlarged and calcified.
Can this is be something like abdominal tuberculosis or other diseases - needs evaluation before a specific treatment is done.
The low-back ache can have another reason like sprain or so.
