Back Pain May Mimic the Pain of Organ Disease
Lumbar and Pelvic Origin of Simulated Visceral Disease: A
mechanical lesion of the upper portion of the lumbar spine can induce
pain which may mimic kidney or ureter disorders. Pain arising from the
low back can refer to the pelvic region and mimic the pain of visceral
disease in the pelvis. The clinical presentation of this type of
syndrome is often variable with patients demonstrating or complaining
of pelvic pain, disturbances of bladder, disturbances of the bowel,
gynecologic and sexual discomfort or dysfunction. Pelvic unleveling
associated with scoliosis or a short leg (leg length less than the
other side) may be associated with chronic pelvic discomfort, which may
mimic the pattern of pain arising from disease of the pelvis. Simulated
pelvic disease referred from the low back or sacral plexus can easily
misdiagnosed and subsequently mismanaged.
