Constipation, Flank Pain, groin pain, lower back pain, and o

Hey all, Even though most of you are in your 20s it is not impossible to rule out kidney stones. Some people are stone makers like myself. If you are experiencing pain in random back to testicle areas and it isnt consistant to one exact location then you probably have a kidney stone. Get your urologist to do a KRB xray, this will help to make that determination. I also had double hernias at the age of 25 don't forget to check that as well. Most of the time constipation will not produce pain in the groin region (its very rare if it does). If you have a just kicked in the nuts sensation its 90% kidney stone. Hope it all works out. Please do not let this go. If you think it is a stone and you get feverish, chills, or feel very weak SEEK MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY, an ignored stuck stone can kill you. Im not saying this to scare you only to express the severity of the situation. Good Luck all of you and I will pray for you.

I have the same/very similar symptoms:



Right testicle pain associated with right groin discomfort > diagnosed by GP as epididimitis but nothing made it go away permanently. However, when I changed from wearing loose shorts to supportive briefs it seems to have more or less gone (fingers crossed!).



Had hemerroids years ago but now gone but hot chilli can cause equivalent discomfort.



Discomfort in right groin, appendix area and top of right hip, usually present when I wake up, an hour or so before passing a large stool, but then continuing for many more hours. Went from negligible to becoming a regular nusiance after an 'alexander technique' practitioner massaged my right psoas muscle (could be coincidence) > GP's unable to explain and CT scan shows nothing wrong with appendix.



Mild pain/discomfort below left shoulder blade, usually when waking up laying on left side and goes away after getting up > I actually have a kidney stone in my left kidney (been there for 25 years, since my twenties when I ate too many curries) for which I am hopefully getting sorted out soon at hospital. However, the position below my left shoulder blade is much higher than the actual position of my left kidney (I think!).

Just another point - the OP refered to trying 'Fibogel,' or whatever it is called, to help his Gastreo Iintestinal process. I heard that a couple of teaspoons of white cabbage (that is the very pale round hard cabbage) chopped fine and added to any meal once per day has a similar effect. I tried it and would definitely recommend it.

A tip though - when it is fresh it has a mild sweet taste :-P
When it is not fresh the taste is abominable :O

Ask a doctor about sacroiliac joint disfunction - could be your issue.

yea well im44 with 3 back operations due to degenerative disc disease/ the only pain that can come from your back and travels down your leg is sciatic and its only in the back of your leg, these paincs could be in the front. i am being tested for colon cancer in 2 days due to groin and leg pain tha t feels like my legs are breaking. you chiropractors think you have all answers.

yep that could be

cipro could work

that sounds interesting

Constipation is the magic word. Chances are you have it most of the time and don't realize it. Your diet may not include enough roughage. How many vegetables do you eat every day? Try taking laxitives or do a colon cleansing and I bet you will feel better. This is a common problem, flank pain, etc. and it has been eliminated in every person who has been alert to their diet and how plugged they are. This isn't a subject doctors like to talk about either and there is only one medication currently, a non laxitive, that is available to help with avoiding constipation. Sounds like a colon cleansing might be the answer rather than just laxitives. Can't hurt you to try, getting rid of that pooh can only be positive even if it doesn't cure your flank pain.

Good luck, Sky

I am not a physician, nor do I have any greater formal knowledge about they symptoms that have been described here, beyond what my doctor has shared with me and my own experience. However, I have suffered from/been treated for IBS for as long as i can remember and lower-back pain syndrome for over two decades (I am 42 now). Both of these conditions share common symptoms, since they reside in the same neck of the woods, so to speak, physiologically. The most common shared symptom is radicular pain. That is pain that is triggered one place but felt in another.

Based on my experience(s), I can tell you that, under normal conditions, the large intestine has four (4) major turns (flexures) from the small to the rectum. The first is in the vicinity of your appendix (where they small connects), the second is right around your liver/gal bladder, the third (and normally very problematic and a firm indicator of IBS) is tucked very close to the spleen (Spleenic Flexure often causes radicular pain around the kidneys and lower left back). Finally, the last resides on the lower left side (somewhat lower than the region of the first turn) of your abdomen...last stop before the exit, you might say. All of these turns, save the first mentioned, are hairpin turns. That is to say that anyone cutting in line, or if the surrounding muscles have a tendency to spasm, it's going to cause a flow dilemma. From what I have learned is that most people with IBS have flexures that are even tighter than normal or possibly even having two sides flattened about one another. Further still, the colon can become twisted at these points, which equals "get your butt to the ER...!" Although, as long as anything is moving, then that's not an issue.

Basically, if your abdominals or surrounding muscle tissue spasms, it's comparable to someone's dog going ape on your street; it not only affects the people trying to sleep in the house but jacks up the entire neighborhood and everyone else's dog starts barking. There are a whole lotta nerves right there; pain signals can "radiate" dang near anywhere down the line, including the lower back, groin and testicles, hip, etc.,  which basically skews treatment cuz you don't really know what's triggering the pain.

If you have just throbbing pain in your lower back just before you KNOW you gotta go, that's just the body's normal way of saying "hey! find a stopping spot and get to the can." However, if 30 minutes to two hours before a successful bm, you are certain that you will either die or are about to give birth to a bouncing baby Pontiac, but are much improved, though rather put out, afterward, then IBS is likely. If, however, you still experience hernia-like symptoms and groin tenderness that is not notably improved anytime afterward (assuming your bowel is well-emptied), then it's time to see the doc, with haste. A tear in that neck of the woods left undiagnosed/treated will result in all sorts of situations, all of which unsavory enough such that your pride would not allow you to openly discuss on this forum.

If it turns out that you do have IBS, then start eating right (pot calling the kettle black, cuz I still don't unless my old lady stands over me), learn to like prunes, drink gallons of fluids, especially if you are on pain management or other narcotics regimen, and have regular colonoscopy's performed more often than typical prescribed. Finally, a total clean out using magnesium citrate or, as we like to call it "the Black Drought," or MasterClense diet or anything that will completely dump your cart now and again can only help improve your quality of life. The best thing to do first is make an appointment with your doc and be honest and precise with your symptoms, and let him take it from there.

I have had this pain for over 20 years. Its now daily. I am constantly bleeding now and have manor pain in rectum testicle and pain in pubic and hip and pain all in that area. I got inguinal hernia operation, MRI, cat scan, x rays. In the begining it started as testicle cramp. If i jumped off a fence it would feel like the cramp you get in your foot except mine was in the nuts. As time progressed it started spreading all around.. This pain can be bearable but sometimes its so bad. Im holding my breath from the pain. Oh i also had divecutitus. But this pain is on the left side. Which is totally seperate from the pain that is unknown. All that pan is on my right side. In 2 weeks I am going to my last option before i give up... Going to get a colanoscopy. Ill tell you all what happens in a few weeks.

So what is the underlying condition as I have all the symptoms

You folks really need to look at pelvic floor dysfunction especially if you sit a lot or are active. I had many of the same symptoms and they creep back periodically but nowhere near how they were. It can be caused by a variety of reasons but it is a mechanical condition not from somewhere in your gut. Diaphragmatic breathing and physical therapy is key.
