Bad Back

[Patsy33]

My daughter is in a lot of pain with her back. She's probably pulled/strained a muscle. Is it usual though, for it to affect the leg and stomach, which is painful too?

is she walking normally? Sometimes a painful back may affect your gait so you're walking with a bit of a twist.

Could it be sciatica?  I had this a while ago and it affected my back and one of my legs.

I understand how it can affect leg but pain in her abdomen?

possibly ... in Texas, anyway!

It can cause pain in a number of places.

Get a doctor's appointment, or see a specialist.

Thank you all.

She got in touch with Chiropractor today for an appointment. Hope he can help.

I'm going for back massage/phsio tomorrow.  Private, because I've given up on the NHS.  Bless her, the poor NHS physio looked at me and said 'It's rubbish these days isn't it?'  I had to  agree - I know about the treatment I  need and it is just not available.

Yes, back strains etc. can affect legs down to toes and across the stomach.  Hope she gets treatment.  She is young and that helps healing.

Update.

My daughter seen Chiropractor yesterday, and was told she has a twisted pelvis. ( never heard of this) Anyway, she did some treatment and says to come back Monday, where she is confident she can realign her pelvis back to how it should be. Although not cured completely of pain, my Daughter said she definitely felt an improvement. So pleased for her.
