What Causes Sore In The Lower Back And Pain In The Lower Abdomen?

My lower back is very sore, and I haven't been pooping right for two weeks now. When I cough or laugh, or even walk there is a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, mostly on the left. It feels a little better if i curl into a ball. I am also bloated. What could this be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Bloating with severe pain in left lower abdomen and not having a proper stool for 2 weeks can be due to the following reasons:
Colitis.
Volvulus of the sigmoid colon.
Diverticulitis.
This can be diagnosed by the following way:
Clinical examination by a General Surgeon.
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
Ultrasonography and CT scan if the above are not conclusive or raise a doubt about diverticulitis.
Tests of blood, stool and urine.
All these things will help to get a very proper diagnosis which is very important for a specific targeted treatment.
