[|Human|] I have been having severe lower back pain, along with pain in my lower abdomen and distended belly for the last month or so. My bowls appear to be fine, and have had x-rays and ultra sound done. They only thing they have found so far is arthritis in the back and air in the colon. Can these two symptoms be related, and if not, what it could possibly be?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think your You are suffering from lumbar spondylosis with degenerative spine leading to backache. Rest in position of relief, Cartilage D once daily, NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is lower than vitamin D supplementation will be required. You may be further investigated by MRI. Air in the colon is normal finding. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow-up query
