Millions of Americans are diagnosed with cancer. But what exactly is cancer and how does it affect the body?...

Q: Pregnancy tests and cancer tests

asked by: DoctorQuestion on May 27th, 2009

I have been suffering from lower back pain for a week now. It is starting to go into my sides and stomach. It seems to hurt the most when i am sleeping (well trying to sleep). I have to physically grab my pajama bottoms to help myself turn over in bed. I had my tubes tied and burnt in 2000 i did take a pregnancy test(negitive) cuz my boyfriend asked if i was pregnant he said that's how i was with our daughter. I have been getting nausous in the mornings. Just wondering if you had any ideas what would be going on with me?? Can't stand waking up to crying in pain everyday.

Have you taken a pregnancy test just in case? You may consider consulting with a chiropractor. They may choose to do x-rays, and they will be able to give you a heads up as to what is going on, and if their treatments can help you.

You may also want to get a routine blood test to rule out any cancers (because you say it is painful at night when you sleep). Good Luck
