[|Human|] I have had a very sore lower back for 2 weeks with loose stools. Am taking diclofenac with no relief. The last few days the pain has become unbearable took codeine an hour ago and still in agony, thinking of going to the hospital. Please help? Cheryl
[|AI|]  Hi Cheryl thank you for trusting ChatDoctorI read your query and understand your concernUnfortunately it seems you are suffering from lumbar discography Pain is one of its symptoms It is bothering and cause a lot of suffering but alone it isn't risky don't have to be worried too much if you aren't suffering neurological deficits (such as paralysis or urinary problems)Anyway you should be checked by a bee doctor or ER and of it is possible to realise a lumbar CT scan which will determine the gravity of herniation Hope I have been of helpRegards Chat Doctor.
