About 3-4 weeks ago i started experiencing
some back pain but only when i lifted
heavy boxes, the pain i have is in the mid
to lower region of my back, it becomes
extremely hard to defecate and i feel that
im backed up all the time, when i do
defecate the pain is beyond anything. i
went to see a doctor today and he told me
that it could be anything(from stretched
muscle to pinched nerve) but he just sent
me home and told me to take some aspirin
and it would go away in a couple of days,
but tonight my lower back pain is so bad i
cant move certain ways without almost
dropping, i sweat a lot (but it could be
just because theres something wrong) and i
feel disoriented and tired, if anybody can
help that would be awesome thanks.

Hello crazyCooling,
Drop that doctor IMMEDIATELY!!!
I am not a doctor, but from what you
describe, you need the advice of the very
best spinal surgeon that you can find in
your area, and without delay.

Hi,sorry to know it.
Base on your symptoms,your doctor possibly
right,you should take medication first.
Normally,soft tissue injuries will take
more than 6 weeks to heal,if pain is very
serious and constant,you should go to see
orthopaedic doctor for diagnosis.
Take care!

Hello crazycooling.
I have to agree with RichT on this one.
Tell tale reason to get a new doctor ASAP
is what he told you.
" i went to see a doctor today and he told
me that it could be anything(from
stretched muscle to pinched nerve) but he
just sent me home and told me to take some
aspirin and it would go away in a couple
of days"
He told you 2 possible things that could
be wrong with your back, one will go away
in a few days the other isn't going away
at all. then he tells you it will go away
in a couple of days.
It sounds like you are getting worse and
not better.
I would also add that profuse sweating,
you said you sweat a lot, and you feel
disoriented and tired, may be symptoms of
other medical conditions that you may or
may not have.
They may also be from the pain you are
experiencing as well.
If this sweating and disorientation
continue, along with your other symptoms,
I would suggest that you go to the ER to
rule out a very serious medical condition
that may or may not be causing your
disorientation and sweating.
Good luck and let us know how you are
doing.

I also sweat alot when my back goes out
most I could come up with was that the
spasms were causing it but I never found
out.
