My husband is experiencing moderately
severe pain in his lower back on the
right. It does not feel like "back"
pain, nor does it begin or end like
typical back pain. The pain comes on
unexpectedly and increases in intensity to
the point where he becomes nauseous. It
can take several hours before the pain
gets so severe that all he can do is lay
down. The thing that has us most
perplexed is that when he lays down, the
pain begins to subside within a half hour
or so and is completely gone within an
hour or two. The frequency of these
"attacks" has increased (from 1 every
couple of months to 2 or 3 times a week
now). He has gone to his doctor twice
now. He has ruled out kidney
stones/kidney infection and he has had an
xray done on his back. But his doctor
says his symptoms don't really match up
with anything so it will be a process of
elimination.
Are you aware of anything that could
present itself in this manner, yet go away
after laying down as described?
Thanks,
linda

Does it usuallyhappen to him after he eats
anything spicy? I used to get really bad
back pains after I ate something spicy.
Even something like ketchup. He may want
to get his gallbladder checked out. I
had to have mine removed.

He is not sure if it is related to what he
eats. He will begin to watch this more
closely. We had considered the
gallbladder as being a possible cause but
the doctor said the pain is usually in the
upper back. I also had my gallbladder
removed but my pain always felt to me as
if I were having a heart attack.
