Back Pain With Incontinence

[thelewisgang]

In the night last night I woke at 4am sneezing & immediately felt pain in my back. The pain, especially this afternoon has been horrendous. It is mainly in the lower left area & is causing pain in my left leg. I have used the high strength Voltorol rub & taken some strong pain relief. It is especially bad when I get up from a sitting position.

This afternoon I have had to make several urgent visits to the loo to empty my bladder & the last time I did not make it to the toilet in time!

Is this quite a common problem with back pain or should I seek professional help? thank you.

thank you for your advice. I will most definitely see my GP tomorrow & if I can't get an appointment (as sometimes happens) I will go to A&E

I think it's a kidney infection.

Thanks for the feedback.

I would still see my GP about it, if only to find out what it was. It sounds as if something was seriously wrong.

Phew, so glad you feel better. I would still go and see your doctor though. Hope it sorts itself out. x

This is the first time I have ever seen Sqad say something IS a big deal.

well on the facts it was a big deal

I wasnt expecting - "and then I had a bowl of cornflakes, and the twelve-out-of-ten pain - awful it was, worse than having a baby - went away and I felt much better"

shows the power of prayer, I say
