What Causes Lower Back Pain With Appetite Loss And Loose Stools?

Hi. I woke-up this morning not feeling the greatest b/c at first my lower-back had a dull pain. I still have this mild ache 4hrs later which is kinda going down my right leg. Then as I moved around (and still) have a dull/mild pain in my mid to lower right abdomen. The last few days i have been very hungary but as soon as I get food infront of me I loose most of my appetite and have had some diarhea/loose stool. To include this morning. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi,
Going through your symptoms, I think the lower back pain radiating to your leg is a different entity from the pain in the mid to lower abdomen. The pain in your lower back is most probably a muscular strain and you need to initially treat it with hot pack application and over the counter pain medications. If that doesn't help fix an appointment with your physical therapist. Interferential therapy certainly helps in decreasing the pain meanwhile. Once the pain comes down discuss with your physical therapist about the need for exercises to strengthen core muscles. It will go a long way in helping you from getting the pain again. Swimming too is a very good exercise. But all these need to be started after the pain has receded.
