ive been suffering with lower left back pain for several years. in the last 2 weeks its got worse . its a dull dragging cramping pain . i also have constipation which ive had for years & incontinence which has got worse. ive been given some naproxen to take for my back pain but it doesn't work all the time. it gets me down & i cant get on with my life. ive got a colonoscopy in two weeks which has taken a while to come through. also i have been referred to have an ultrasound scan on my pelvis but i could be waiting a while. where else could the pain be coming from? once these two tests have been done & there is nothing wrong i maybe left in pain still. could it be a joint spine problem. could i ask for an mri on my back? anyone else suffered with the same problem & what tests & what was wrong ? thanks for reading.
