What Causes Severe Back Pain At The Night?
I HAVE BEEN HAVING SEVERE BACK PAIN SINCE AROUND THANKSGIVING - PAIN MUCH WORSE DURING THE NITE AND IS LOCATED PREDOMINATELY ABOUT 6 UP FROM MY WAISTLINE AND COUPLE OR MORE INCHES TO THE RIGHT OF MY SPINE (THE AREA FEELS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL). IT FEELS LIKE AN ELEPHANT TRYING TO TEAR THROUGH MY BACK. SOMETIMES THE PAIN IS ONLY IN THAT ONE SPOT AND SOMETIMES IT RADIATES ALL OVER MY BACK THROUGH THE SHOULDERBLADES AND ALL OVER. DR 1ST THOUGHT IT WAS CLASSIC GALLBLADDER DISEASE - ULTRASOUND AND HIDA SCAN BOTH NEGATIVE. HAD MRI OF BACK - SHOWED ONLY MILD ARTHRITIS. I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, SARCOIDOSIS DISEASE (WHITE FEMALE, AGE 57), HAVE HAD ULCERS IN THE PAST. MY FATHER DIED OF HEART DISEASE AT 56, HIS FATHER AT 55. MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS FINE, BLOODWORK SHOWED NOTHING TO BE ALARMED ABOUT. I AM NOW LEANING TOWARDS KIDNEY ISSSUES - AND AM STILL WONDERING IF IT IS ACTUALLY GALLBLADDER PROBLEMS EVEN THO THE 2 TESTS ARE NEGATIVE. WHAT ELSE CAN I PROVIDE YOU? I AM AT MY WITS END -- NO SLEEP AND TIRED OF HURTING.

hi sir/madam,
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
Let me advice you for your problem.
Low back ache may be a pre-monitory (prodromal) symptom in fistula in ano, sciatica, gouty arthritis, hernia, emaciation disorder etc. Pain is confined to lower part of the spine (back bone) especially lumbar region or lumbo-sacral area (rarely sacro-iliac region also). If it is secondary, earlier history of fall or injury may be associated. Rarely, radiating pain may be complained by the patient towards lower limbs. But it is quite common in low back aches if the defect is in the discs between vertebrae (back bones). Often the movements of lumbo-sacral region like flexion and rotation are hampered either partially or completely.
Low back pain may be found in mild form in case of anemia, sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, hemorrhoids, urinary calculi, uterine disorders etc also.
Line of treatment as per Ayurveda:-
The general principles of treatment of vata dosha are adopted in case of katishoola (low back pain). It includes various measures to suit its varied clinical entities, stages and associated complaints.
