back and abdominal pain left side

I have lower back pain which radiates into my left hip and lower left abodominal pain.  I feel nauseas at times but in waves.  I was constipated but took some colase and seems to be helping.  But the pain is getting to be a problem, my left leg is numb when I sit and the pain in my hip is awful!!!  If you touch an area on my mid spine I will jump, it hurts that badly but not sure if that would cause abdominal pain as well??

Hi Aliciapo,

Thank you for your reply, I have heard that omega fish oil helps, I will definatley go buy it.  Im glad Im not alone on this, I am not sure what to do anymore and feel like it gets worse before it starts to feel better.  I am nervous just to say spinal fusion, I cant imagine having that done.  Do you feel like it was worth it? Was it the only option to relieve your pain??  The nausea is what gets me nervous, I did not know that spinal pain can cause all of these symptoms.

Hi mski
I also had pain down my spine when I touched it.and it made me nauseas.  I had a spinal fusion 5 months ago.  What helped me with the pain is strengthening exercises of the muscles around the spine.  You have to be careful to keep your back straight when doing exercises and start out slow.  I found out that it helps me to keep my back straight and the pain and nausea went away.  I also take omega fish oil and found that that helps with the pain.
