Not sure what I have

[maureenholcombe1]

Hi I have not been diagnosed as yet, but feel I have things going on in my lower back, a lot of pain, the first 2 weeks was tremendous shooting pains like it would stop me in my tracks, I could not move in bed, when I woke up in mornings, my pain changed to to no shooting pain but pain in just my lower back, on the left side only, after the First 2 week i noticed i was pooing more frequent, but constipated, then I would get tingling down my left leg, which felt strange, I’ve had bloated stomach also, since my MRI yesterday I have pooed about 6 or 7 times in that day but my stools were softer. So I have had these problems now for around 8 weeks

Hello and thanks for posting. Sorry to hear about the issues you've been experiencing. 8 weeks is a long time to be experiencing this pain. Did they say how long it will take for you to hear the results of the MRI? Try not to let the waiting for restults stress you out too much. Please keep us updated and hang in there.

Thank you Nicole, the radiologist says up to 2 weeks to hear any results of MRI I had

Maureenholcombe1, Sorry to hear that, 2 weeks is a very long time! Fortunately at this point it shold be no more than 7 days now to hear anything, is that right? Have you heard anything? Please keep us posted.
