Current medical status: Had a baby 15/08/07 C-Section Epidural no complications
Current medical treatment: none

Your back pain could be caused by spondylotic changes (osteophytes, herniated disk...) or static disorders of the spine (scoliosis, lordosis and kifosis). Kidney stones are another possible option.

An x-ray image of the lumbar-sacral spine, abdominal ultrasound, and standard blood/urine analyses could provide very valuable data.

You may want to consult your GP.
