Question 1

does colon cancer cause lower back pain?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Most early stage colon cancers cause no symptoms at all.  Very advanced colon cancers can grow and invade nearby structures, potentially causing pain.  Colon cancer can also spread to the bones, which may cause back pain. However, back pain is a common symptom, and the vast majority of patients who are experiencing back pain do not have any cancer.  See your doctor if you are concerned.

Question 2

i have been having lower back pain, and pain in my right side.. along with narrow stools quite frequently. could these be related? colon cancer?

Accepted Answer

Um: Colon cancer could be but not the first thing to consider. You could have urinary issues, stones, infection, irritable bowel. I would see your doctor for a full history and physical. Good luck

Question 3

anaemic, night sweats lower back pain losing weight. ruled out tb and lymphoma. possible colon problem?? blood in stool only once but dark and runny

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: anemia is most concerning but if you are menstruating may be fine.  Would suggest good physical examination and possible GI evaluation

Question 4

3 colonic polyps removed. r these wat causing my heavy night sweats weight loss and lower back pain?  confirmed benign polyps. still have symptoms

Accepted Answer

Colon polyps: Colon polyps are generally asymptomatic and would not cause back pain or night sweats.  You've got something else going on.  Speak with your doctor.

Question 5

does low back pain/constipation signify colon cancer.

Accepted Answer

Colon cancer: Those 2 are nonspecific symptoms but weight loss, change in bowel habits, bleeding per rectum, hx of polyps, family hx of colon cancer or any combination of these things should warrant proper evaluation by a colonoscopy.

Question 6

i have problem with bladder , colon and low back pain. when colon is full i can not urinate, and have back pain. what is the cause of all this?

Accepted Answer

Constipation: Relationship between the muscles and nerves that control  back & bladder functions and those that control bowel movements can cause this. Bladder and the colon are close together in the body. Large amounts of stool in the colon can put pressure on the bladder which can cause the bladder to not fill as much as it should, or cause the bladder to contract when the bladder is not supposed to contract.

Question 7

have chronic low back pain. no diagnosis. hurts worse when gassy or have bowel movement. it's not colon issues. what else could this be?

Accepted Answer

Diagnostic injection: Most back pain is either discogenic or facetogenic. That is either from your disc or the joints in your lower back. A less common cause is the sacroiliac joint. An MRI is useful if not done. After MRI history and physical exam diagnostic X-ray guided blocks can give you a diagnosis and lead to specific treatment .

Question 8

rectal bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain and low back pain. i went to the  dr last week with a pain in my back in which i thought was a kidney infection.  it turns out that i was plugged from stomach to rectum.  i did a colon cleansing but am still h

Accepted Answer

Yes, : Yes, you need to be evaluated immediately.  As you are still having pain and are having bleeding, then you must be seen immediately for a reevaluation.  If you have increased pain, bleeding, light-headedness or fainting, vomiting or fever, then you must be seen as an emergency.
