Pain in Lower back to left leg and left side of the spine near shoulders

I have pin point pain in left buttock(left side to Lower back ) for 6 months.  From last two months It is radiating to left leg thighs and some times towards end of left leg. Last week I had vomiting sensation for one day. This week I have frequent bowel moments(3-4 Times a day). There is little burning sensation in the left side of lower abdomen and in left groin. And also I am observing pin point pain left side to above part of spinal cord for one week.

I went to Doctor three four times. When I had Vomiting sensation I went for a ultra sound scan for abdomen, everything was normal. Doctor told that there is a nerve sandwiched between bones(Or something like this). But he didn't do any other tests. When he told that I had no upper spine pain.

Now I am worried if there is any dangerous decease inside my body like cancers(Colon, Blood, or bone cancers???) or any other nerve related deceases. Can u please tell me the tests needed to diagnose these symptoms. And please tell what these symptoms are for...

Thanks in advance

Hacía ya varios años que estaba sufriendo dolores en las lumbares y se me agrabaron en las cervicales, los diferentes tipos de calmantes usados no acababan de cumplir su cometido y sí acabaron sensibilizandome el estómago sobremanera. Hará tres meses me recomendaron unos parches nuevos que no tienen contraindicaciones ya que no penetra ninguna sustancia en el cuerpo y están basados en los principios de la acupuntura. Vendita recomendación y vendita la hora en que empecé a usarlos, por fin he encontrado alivio a mis dolores y he podido dejar de usar calmantes. Los consigo a traves de la web: www.acabaconeldolor.com
Te los recomiendo y espero que te sean tan beneficiosos como me están siendo a mi.
Me gustaría saber tu opinión si llegas a usarlos, puedes escribirme a ***@****
Un saludo

He told nerve is getting pinched between disks, but in recent days its becoming worse, what is the best treatment for it, I am also feeling pain in head(only on sides). I went to homeopathic doctors also, he said its a disk problem,

I dont understand how to get rid of it.

That's great to hear something is being done. So did he order an MRI too, or is he waiting for the stool tests to come back?

Sounds like a herniated disc. When you are in severe pain from something like this, sometimes the pain can travel to area which have no connection. Sounds weird but it's true. Especially if the pain has been going on for a while like yours. I don't know why this happens. Maybe someone else will have some insight on this. I have a slipped disc as well, although mine is cervical, after some time I was too feeling pain in many other areas as well. I think it has to do with the tightening of your muscles or something like that when you are in pain and other parts of your body feeling the strain. Your colon area seems fairly close to where you may have the herniated disc, determined by the sciatic area you were describing. As for the vomiting, how much pain are you in. Sometimes too much pain can lead to nausea and vomiting.  Since your doctor did an ultra sound and it came out fine I wouldn't be too worried about it. I am not a doctor of course, and you should always follow your gut instinct. What I am saying is true about other parts of your body feeling the pain too, if your instincts are telling you that this just isn't the case, you should follow that up with a 2nd opinion. Keep in mind most of the symptoms you are mentioning are connected to herniated disc; pinched nerve. All except the frequent bowel movements. Try not to worry too much and make yourself crazy. If it persists go to your doctor again. Any other tests you have done will most likely require a referral from your doctor. Once your doctor sees that the BM's haven't let up, he/she will refer you to the right kind of doctor who will perform all the right tests.
