Why do you have pain in your lower back after alcohol?

Answer 1

If the Back pain presents the next day after drinking it is probably caused by muscle and nerve irritation which results from depletion of certain B vitamins as a result of drinking. You should try taking several times the RDA of the following vitamins: Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6 and Pantothenic acid. These vitamins will also reduce hangover symptoms if taken before drinking.

It could also be your kidneys since they are located there, also. Avoid drinking, visit your doctor with the symptoms.

Answer 2

Alcohol tends to have a lot of negative effects on your body. If you are experiencing pain in the lower/sides of your back it can be related to liver or kidney problems. I would recommend consulting your doctor and drinking a little less.

Answer 3

Sadly, this forum is not designed to allow for the kind of descriptions and exchanges that would make this sort of a diagnosis easier. Also, I'm not a doctor, and this sounds like you could use one.

First, it doesn't sound like a UTI. You've been treated 4 times and the problem recurs.

Second, it's not sounding like an allergy -- those are not typical allergy symptoms.

As to a pain in your right side, the first thing that comes to my mind is the gallbladder. Here's why I think this:

• You haven't stated if you ate before going drinking, but if you eat a fatty dinner, this can set off a gall bladder attack.
• You also didn't state if you smoke. Smoking exacerbates gall bladder attacks.
• You did state you were drinking beer. Both alcohol and certain grains exacerbate gall bladder attacks,
• Your doctor has presumably run sufficient tests to rule out other possible pathologies.

In order to be a bit more sure, talk to your doctor and ask.

1. Did he run blood panels? Can you please see the results and have them explained? Especially your WBC
2. Why did he settle in this problem being an infection? Were you running a temp? Did he run any cultures that would help identify what organism was causing this? Can you see the results?
3. As this modality of treatment isn't working, would he be adverse to trying something else?

This doesn't sound super-dangerous and, if it is gall bladder, it can be wildly painful but is rarely fatal. But one cannot rule out other disorders without a lot more information.

I think that drinking alcohol isn't making this better. I think that the time that's passed before your first beer has allowed the problem to abate on its own.

Your new mission is to get your doc to actually, rigorously look into this problem

Answer 4

Because you are dehydrated.

------------------------------------------

The reason is due to the fact that alchohol needs to be processed by your liver. Your liver usually supplies glucose to the brain which without the glucose has reduced function. The headache is your brain functioning with a lack of chemical energy.

Above answer is also part of it.

Answer 5

it's most likely because of the hard work you put your kidneys through, seeing as they reside in the lower back

Answer 6

The reason why your neck hurts after you drink alcohol could be in relation to Hodgkin's disease. It would be wise to go and see your doctor for proper medical advice.

Answer 7

Congeners, found mostly in darker colored drinks, can cause some people to have headaches.
