What Causes Lower Back Pain And Dark Urine While Having Degenerative Disc Disease?

I have had severe pain in my lower back . it started out like a dull pain, I have had back problems since my 30s I am 51yrs old now. I didn t think much if it because of having rhumetoid arthritis, and degenitive disc disease, I also have both of my hips replaced. I went to the bathroom as soon as I got up, I asked my hubby if he went to the barhroom and didn t flush the toilet. he said no. I just went again , and my urine was so dark that it looked like I had a bowel movement as well. but I didn t. I am very afraid, and want advice, also I haven t flushed the toilet just in case I should take some in a container to the Hospital

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello,
Thanks for the concern. There are many causes of dark urine in the morning. It may be due to dehydration and may be you have not taken enough liquid overnight. If this is not the case than you may have jaundice, Hepatitis b, gall stone or bladder stone. So consult the physician for it.
