What causes pain in lower back to front?
Patient: I have a pain starting in my lower back going around front  - belt line.  I feel like a buldge is on my right hand side.  No gaul bladder and I do have a fatty liver.  I stopped drinking twelve weeks ago and sent off of all fats and on a high fiber diet which helps a little bit.  Back pain also. Doctor: Hello, I have studied your case. Pain on right side along with back can be due liver disease in your case.Edema over liver which may lead to pattern of pain in right hypochondrium region.Ultrasonography abdomen and pelvis along with blood LFT will help in diagnosis.Another possibility of pain arising from thoracic spine can be kept which leads to radicular pain from back to anterior area.Infection in thoracic spine can be common or can be due to nerve compression.I will advise to do HRCT or MRI scan consulting your treating doctor.Here are my other useful suggestions to you: Avoid lifting weights, take rest, and eat easily digestible food.Hope this answers your query.
