Lower Left Back Pain

by moody55, Oct 23, 2007 02:18AM
I have had lower left back pain for the past 2 - 3 years off and on.  However, for the last 2 or 3 nights, it has gotten much worse.  I put some biofreeze on it and get some sleep until it wears off, then the pain comes back.   It seems it comes only at night.  I have told doctors about it, but they just say, "I do not know what it is."  I have been on dialysis (peritoneal) for about 5 1/2 years.  Recently, I have noticed an increase in urine output and at times I feel I've got to go, but cannot seem to empty my bladder.  I also have learned recently that I have parathyroid problems in which I will have to have surgery in a couple of weeks. I understand that this can cause an increase in urine output, so that may be the cause of the increase.  I believe my lower left back pain is something else because I have had it before, only not as painful as it is now.
