Heavy drinking may cause a form of nerve damage called as alcoholicneuropathy, which can produce numbness in the extremities as well as muscle weakness. Alcoholic neuropathy may arise because nutritional deficiencies attributable to heavy drinking compromise nerve function.

This all sounds like disc disease. I've had these symptoms ... Ignored it and now live with pain

Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that you sleep twisted up when you've been drinking??? I think this is the case for me...

Did a lot of research and test. Flow problem between kidney and bladder. Hydronephrosis. Not real serious but left untreated can cause kidney problems thus other issues. Go to a urologist and get a cat scan.

Obviously we all have different kinds of back pain and different contributing issues. Mine seems to be very clear. I have a back defect that has hurt me all my life. IMMEDIATELY after starting to drink the pain gets worse but the defect is obviously the cause. I don't have to drink much at all! My conclusion is that alcohol just causes the pain to get worse but DOES NOT cause it. Those of you who get lower left back pain sounds like a completely different problem to me! I would definitely see a doctor, but don't expect them to have all of the answers. Medical science is the best it has ever been but they have a long long way to go

Hello everyone I am a 38 year old man that I hate to say has a binge drinking problem , but have only picked up this problem 2 years ago. I was at one time addicted to Narcotics for 10 years , but am proud to say I've been clean for the last 8 years. But anyhow I drink for about one week out of every month. Not a large amount but enough usually anywhere from 10 to 12 beers a day. Almost always by the second day my lower back Hurts like someone that's been out of work for a long period of time and hasn't used the muscles in their back for quite some time , and I assure you that's not the case for me. Trying to Walk any kind of distance or Bend over hurts like HELL to be Frank. Also my ( Left ) Ankle swells and hurts just about as bad as the back. I for the most part can use common sense by concluding that the ANKLE pain is cause from the salt intake from the beer ( but I'm not a doctor by no means ) and I'm assuming the back pain is my kidneys trying to filter out the toxins from the alcohol from the beer ( DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IF SO HAVE THEY BEEN TO A DOCTOR?? ) The reason I'm asking is because my father god rest his soul , was a MAJOR Alcoholic he drank beer every day all day and never had the issues with his back and Ankle that I have.... Any Ideas????? Thanks in advance :-)

I am not a heavy drinker. . however with certain alcol beverages that I drink it causes severe back pain down my spinal cord. . it lasts anywhere between 10 to 20 min and I am down for the count in tears. . I only drink one or 2 shots ever so often. . I have found I need to stay away from those drinks.
It could be a type of allergic reaction or just something that does not agree with your body. . I find the dekyper or similar to is the worse. . maybe its because its cheaply made. .I really don't know why but yes drinking can cause back pain.

I am a 31 year old active femal and I get it too. Like most people posting on here, I'm trying to do self diagnosis. It's been an ongoing thing for me since my early 20's, and I think it is kidney related, possibly small kidney stones. A naturopath suggested this to me in college the first time I had symptoms, which were so bad I could hardly move, after drinking Concentrated dandelion root tea as part of a cleanse recommended by an herbalist. Even though I was and am a very healthy eater and physically active, you can get kidney stones from eating a lot of foods with oxalates (chocolate, spinach, leafy greens, strawberries) or they can be calcium stones from too much calcium intake (hard water for me possibly). Anyways, it's been a strange symptom and I think I'm finally going to get an ultrasound to
Find out for sure if they are stones. I have the ache now (after saint Patrick's day - I had Guinness and whiskey) but usually I just get the ache in my lower back when I do cleanses. I think this is because toxins pass from your liver to your kidneys, from where they are passed out through urine. Things like ginger, lemon, turmeric, burdock, and dandelion root are all liver cleansing, and inexperience the ache when I take them. Oddly enough however, I have experienced the pain when I stop drinking coffee. I've tried to figure out why just that would cause me stones or perhaps the stones want to start passing and they were already there? If I drink coffee again, the pain goes away. Perhaps the oxalates in coffee can cause stones too? At any rate, it makes sense and is relatively normal I think to have the ache after drinking heavily since alcohol is a toxin your liver then kidneys must process and the kidneys are what you feel aching, or rather, the waste products passing through your urethral tube from kidneys to bladder. But they could be small stones too.
