At night I usually wake up due to an intense burning in the middle of my back that involves my muscles in my back as well. I wake up a few times at night and I have to turn over to stop the pain but it hurts so bad that I can hardly move. The pain is only on the right side. I have a bed that’s only 5 years old and the pain started about two weeks ago.
I was severely constipated, I am chronically constipated and the doctor took an xray last week and I go for a follow up next week. Anyway yesterday the pain got too bad and I tried several types of laxatives. About 1:00 am I finally was relieved of my condition and made several trips the bathroom.
Now I am in severe pain in my lower back just above the buttocks area and the pain is on both sides. Pain laying down, more pain if I try to get up, pain while sitting up.
It is a constant strain sharp pain that hurts more when I move and it is only in the lower back area.
Yesterday it was my back and stomach that hurt, now after being relieved it is just the back.
Anyone ever experience this trouble and what worked for you to first get out of pain?
What did you do to prevent from being chronically constipated to get to this point?
I have tried increasing fiber, water, and exercise with little results.
