A member asked:
Can a bowel obstruction make your lower back hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible,: But not likely. Intestinal obstruction usually causes crampy abdominal pain, distention, obstipation, nausea, and vomiting. And you need to get xr's or even sometimes ct scan to be sure. If you suspect intestinal obstruction, you need to go to ed right away.
