I have a calcified granuloma in one of my right lower pelvic iliac chain lymph nodes. I have been experiencing a lot of right side lower back and lower abdomen pain I went to the doctor and they ordered a CT scan it showing that there is more calcification appearing in the lymph node. the doctor has  prescribed 600-800mg of ibuprofen three times a day. is thereanything else that I could do for  the pain it seems like a lot of Motrin, and could this be causing  so much pain?
Hi. This is a very rare finding of having calcified lymph nodes causing so much pain as described by you. Ideally the lymph node should be removed for further evaluation, and also a diagnostic laparoscopy may find the cause of why lymph nodes are enlarged and calcified. Can this is being something like abdominal tuberculosis or other diseases - needs evaluation before a specific treatment is done. The low-back ache can have another reason like sprain or so.
