A member asked:

I have lower back pain and stiffness. sometimes i feel my heartbeat at my back and left side stomach. what is this? :/

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low back pain: Susan, It sounds like there is quite a bit of inflammation/spasm in those areas and the increase in blood supply is making you more aware of the irritation. If you continue to feel these symptoms, an examination is the best thing.
