Suggest treatment for lower back pain
Patient: I have pain in my lower back on both sides. I feel full all the time, it hurts when I breath deeply. I am having trouble with my bowl movements. Such as very little coming out & not as frequent as I used to. I am having trouble sleeping, ie getting into a comfortable position. It is not a constant pain. Last night was very bad for me after I ate a few handfuls of peanuts. Also, constantly flatulent... Doctor: your symptoms suggests that you might have severe paraspinal muscle spasm in the lower back.because of pain  you could not generate enough abdominal pressure to pass stool .same things happen with deep breathing . eating peanuts may some times cause flatulence. if such patient come to my clinic i first start analgesic such as ibuprofen,muscle relaxants , stool softener (laxative) and hot fomentation of back.if symptoms do not subsides in 4-5 days then you should visit to an orthopaedician.Hope this answers your question.
