Lower Back Pain, Please Help?

since nov i been having lower back pain. right in the kidney area. its been on and off since then. usually staying for a month or so. i work out alot and it doesnt prevent me from doing anything. i just feel pain and discomfort. i have no bowel problems, back in nov i got a ultrasound to check for tumors and stones. nothing showed up. do u think this is lymph nodes causing my pain. im 23yr old male in good shape. sometimes when i eat too much i feel pain back there. what should i do, i dont have health insurance for another 2 months. im really nervous this is non hodgkins disease, i read that people sometimes get back pain bc of the lymph nodes. i went to the hematogolist in feb, to find out why my spleen was slighly enlarged, he did blood tests and what not and said blood came back great, he thinks i have epstein barr. what should i do am i overractiing thinking this is something serious. its just im 23 and i think im too young for constant lower back pain for 7 months.please help

Hello, I can relate with the lower back pain, as I am a sufferer myself. As far as you only being 23, that don't mean nothing. I started getting low back pain when I was 13 yrs. I am now 32. it wasn't till 2004 that I found out why. And as far as being told that You may have Epstein Barr, That's a bunch of crap!! They tried that one on Me, it didn't fly. Epstein Barr is something they tell you when they don't find anything Med. wrong with you, and a nice way of saying it's all in your head. I think I would hold out till your Med. Insr. kicks in, and ask for a IVP to check out your Kidney's and a MRI for your back as well. It took Me getting the MRI for the doctor's to take me serious. However, all though I know what is wrong they still cannot do anything else for Me. I have went through so many treatments, they just didn't have long lasting effects for me, so I just have to live with it. But don't let up till they check you from head to toe, and not just through Blood Work. If You want, you could email me at Macklov@sbcglobal.net
