Pain In Lower Back, Difficulty In Walking, Blood In Urine. X Ray, Scan Done, No Stones. Underlying Cause?

I have been having pain in my lower back/kidney area. Have had the pain for a few months, but within the last week got really bad. I had an attack one night that lasted appro 15 min - stopped haven't had since, but at times have "jagging" pains in lower abdomen. I went to the doctor - blood in urine - he thought kidney stone. X-ray and CAT scan show no stones....I have persistent pain in abdomen and back - that make walking difficult at times, bending is painful as well. I could accept no kidney stones, but that pain I felt was unbelievable that night. Not sure how to move forward or who to go see?

Hi, thank you for posting.

After I read carefully your question I understood your problem and I think that I can help you.
It is the possibility that you can suffer from vertebral column disease, because your symptoms are similar with the symptoms of the disease.
Pain is the main symptom. It stars immediately and finds you unprepared. It is sharp and severe. The pain deteriorates, according to vertebral column position, abdomen bloating and it is spread in pelvis. The possibility that Vertebral Column is affected by rheumatic processes is huge, rarely it is disc herniation.

One of the best technique to diagnose Vertebral Column Diseases is CT scan.
And the treatment contain non steroidal anti inflammatory, for example Ibuprofen(Advil), or Meloxicam combined with relax medicines, physiotherapy and put warm compress.

Contact a neurologist.

Take Care.
