Lower back pain on right side, constipation?
A couple of nights ago, I was laying on the floor on my right side, when a family member who I didn't know was still awake tripped over me and fell on top of me, kicking me in the left side hip and falling on top of it. It hurt for a little bit, but then it went away. Early the next morning, I woke up with a stabbing pain in the lower right side of my back that went from there around to my lower abdomen, since then I've had severe constipation and the pain in the lower right side of my back has lingered. I've also had a lot of gas. I thought that maybe the pain and constipation were unrelated so I've been trying to take in more fiber, but it doesn't seem to be helping. If it doesn't get better by the end of the week I'm going to go to the doctor. But could anyone tell me what this might be? Because the more I look into the type of pain I'm having on various websites the more I scare myself.
I also recently got over bronchitis, which I took antibiotics for, as well as a steroid shot.

1. If those web sites are written by dr.'s they are meant to scare you...into going to see them.You ended up with pinched muscles in your back to give you that pain. When the back muscles are pinched they can also press into the nerves going to other organs as they leave the spine to cause pains and problems in them. Pressure on the nerves to the stomach will cause the gas and pressure on the nerves to the intestines can be causing them to tighten up so nothing passes. To get rid of the pains you have to free up the muscles in your back and here's how to do that:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
