my lower back fels weak, my abdomen & left lower leg have edema. I took crestor for about 8 days & had very odd ache around my rib cage to my back. Doc said stop taking it for now & pain went away! Soon like a month later the edema started. I have had CT Scan every gynecological biopsy-negative. Even a CA125 - negative- What is going on??
The edema is only in one leg? Lower back pain is understandable. If your intervertebral disc spaces are with correct gaps, no need to worry. Otherwise, proper lumbosacral support by belt may be needed. Some physiotherapy may be done. Avoid painkillers. Edema in one leg may worry if it increases in one leg only. Watch for stiffness or heaviness and pain in that leg. If aggravates, you may have to get the help of surgeon for any possible DVT (though possibility with given symptoms are less but do not take risk). Hope it helps you.
