Can pain in the stomach be due to back?
Patient: Hi there, I have pulled my back last Friday (lift-up a box and the damage was done ...) Since approx. Saturday I also can feel pain on both sides of my lower tummy (feels like period pain) Can it be connected ? (back is still hurting)  Many thanks for your answer.   Alzbeta Doctor: Yes, it is most likely musculoskeletal pain.While strain in back muscles, it may cause pain in abdomen as well.To confirm, I would suggest ultrasound of abdomen & pelvis, till then muscle relaxant & pain killers are usual prescriptions.Hope this information is useful to you.Thanks. Regards.
