dirty ethel rackham Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Last week, dd complained of low back pain, which is unusual for her. She is getting chiropractic treatment from the car accident 4 weeks ago,but had not complained of it before, only neck pain. The next day, she complained that she felt she was coming down with something as her glands we swollen. After her chiro visit, she felt better. Well, last evening, I started to get intense low back pain, very different than the usual low back pain I have dealt with in the past. It has been very painful. This morning, I woke up with swollen glands sand feeling off. I'm beginning to think these are related. I don't think I can walk the dog this morning.

Reefgazer Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 My dad would have told you that that is how many colds start. He went to a chiropractor for intense back pain one time, and she told him that he had a cold in his back that would appear in a week or so and it did. That pattern repeated itself throughout his life, so that's when he knew one was coming on. Last week, dd complained of low back pain, which is unusual for her.

dirty ethel rackham Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thanks. I see the chiro this morning. I hope I can drive or get K out of bed to drive me. In the meantime, the prescription strength ibuprofen is just barely taking the edge off. So much for laundry today. Yoga pants, it is.

Seasider Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 That happened to me many years ago. It was a kidney infection. Watch for any UTI symptoms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governess Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have the same thing. My lower back is super achey and so are my hips and legs. I had a low grade fever last night. My dd didn't get a sore back but she did have a sore neck. There are lymph nodes in your lumbar area as well as your pelvis. I imagine that they are inflamed and that is what is causing the pain. Hope we feel better soon! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Ditto kidneys Either infection or a stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I would have her checked for a kidney infection or kidney stones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Since both dd and I had the same thing, one after the other, I would think it was awfully coincidental that we both with have kidney infections or stones at the same time. Dd's pain went away. I'm thinking this is viral. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Is she constipated or have diarrhea? I sometimes have back pain with IBS. Just another thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Sounds like the actual flu. For me that always starts with an intense back ache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Btw, this is about me, not dd. Her situation has resolved. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Yoga pants, it is. This made me think of one of those wooden hand painted signs I saw recently. It said, "My yoga pants have never been inside a yoga studio." :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I've had many kidney stones, and I've never had concurrent swollen neck glands. I think you have a virus. Take elderberry syrup, amazing stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Unexplained back ache + mildly elevated temperature = early sign of pregnancy for me. Obviously this would depend on the OP's stage of life whether it could be a possibility (kids aged 16 to 23 could mean a 40something mom or a 60something mom). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyGF Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Flu. For me that has always started with back ache. Also, pink eye. I got a bad case of bacterial pink eye four years ago that felt like the flu (back lower back ache, fever). Once I got the antibiotic drops, the back ache was gone in a few hours. Sounds crazy, yes, and I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to me. Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooksandBoys Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I can't speak to low back pain, but most of my illnesses begin with pain in the back of my neck, followed usually within 24 hours with swollen glands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMamaBird Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 This happened to me about two weeks ago! I had very intense pain around my kidney area. I was okay moving, no problems there. But if I hiccuped or sneezed or even took a deep breath it was excruciating. The only thing that kept me from going to see my Dr. was that my DH had the same thing 4 days before me and the pain had gone away on its own for him. I was down for a good solid three days and then still partially sore for another three or four after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Chiro agrees with me after his assessment. He couldn't do the usual work on me for the car accident since I was guarding so much. I did a bunch of stretching and had electrical stim on it. I iced it several times later in the day. It started to feel better. Not 100%, But I Can Get around. Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
