Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain
Well, I am not sure whats going on! I am having some pretty serious lower back pain, to the point it hurts to sit and sneeze! I have been having night sweats and last week I developed extremely itchy hives. I am a 23 and 1/2 year old female. My husband and I have been trying to start a family but these just do not seem like pregnancy symptoms to me with the exception of the back pain! any ideas?

Dear patient
Back pain that is severe and aggravate with sneezing is sign of disc prolapse with nerve root compression. Are you having radiating pain in Lower limb ? If yes then disc prolapse is more likely. I would like to advise mri of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine. MRI gives detail of nerve roots discs and even bones and help in planning treatment. So visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Visit expert spine surgeon with report.
