Lower Back Pain Questions Please Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted: 02-12-06 18:38pm
Hi,
around christmas my mother developed a
horrible cold, she still has she gets one
every year. Further, she fell down 3
stairs. Her back hurt a little then felt
better. About 1 week later, she carried
a bag full of full cans. Right after
that her back started killing and still
does. It seems the pain is located
around the sides of her lower back. She
finally agreed to see a doc but is super
scared they will say it is cancer causing
the back pain. I dont feel any lumps or
anything in the area. It just hurts.
She is 55 and smokes. Ice seems to
provide small relief so does a rubber
waist support. So........
What are the odds this is cancer
considering she had reasons to get sore?
Does cancer normally cause back pain?
I am so scared I really couldnt take
losing my ma now. Please give me
feedback or relate an incident you had
that was similar and what it was.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it isn't the time to panic, from your post
it seems your mother has either pulled
some muscles or ruptured a disc. Unless
there is family history to suggest
otherwise, I would bet on a back injury.
The back is easier to injure that you
think. Keep us posted, and keep your
head up. Take care and god bless.
