Hi Doc,My question is in concern for my 18 year old daughter , she has been in crippling pain now for over a week - lower back and pelvis, after numerous trips to hospital and the local GP she was told it was a urine infection and sent home with antibiotics and pain killers. She is still in server pain, still extremely unwell.. Can you shed any light
Urinary tract infection could be a possible cause of low back pain. Please complete the full course of antibiotics and see if she gets relief. Another possible cause of such pain could be improper posture during sitting or lying down which may trigger spasm of the lower back muscles. She needs to learn certain back exercises from a physical therapist and that should help. Hot compress is likely to give her some relief.
