I have been experiencing lower back pain since Monday which has become progressively worse. I have also been drinking excessive amounts of water about one pint every one and a half hours or less. I have a lack of appetite and feel full most of the time. I visited my GP and they checked my urine and blood pressure which were normal. I am going for blood tests on Monday and will wait for the results. Do you know what could be causing these symptoms? Thank you Jack.

Your symptoms may relate to blood sugar, kidney, or hormonal levels. Since urine and BP are normal, your upcoming blood tests should offer clarity. Keep hydrated and monitor symptoms. Please do blood sugar, kidney function, calcium and thyroid tests to check the cause.
