Have Discomfort In The Lower Back Along Diarrhea And Feeling Of Swelling In Stomach

I've been having a lot of discomfort on my left side, at the lower back level. Have thought all day it's a muscle on my left side, but don't remember doing anything to putt a muscle there. My stomach feels swollen, but no sensitivity or hurting, just diarrhea. Just normal urination, again with no pain. The only pain is in that muscle.

Hi there.

The symptoms you have mentioned do correlate to a muscular pain .
Muscle soreness of such sorts can happen sometimes without us recalling of any stress or injury.
It could happen due to a bad posture or mild twist.

Secondly, and more unlikely, it could be due to referred pain from your stomach problem.

Take rest
Hot fomentation to the part
Apply local diclofenac gel
Analgesic like etoricoxib which is safe during upset stomach.
Abstain from strenuous activities .

Consult a gastrophysician for the stomach problem who might get a ultrasound abdomen done.
Proceed according to the reports.

I hope my advice has helped .
Good luck .
