Suggest Remedies For Severe Pain In Lower Back While Sitting
Question: Hello, I am 36 years of age male. For the last few months i have been experiencing pain in my lower back only when i try to get up while sitting.
The pain is NOT unbearable but definitely not comfortable.
I believe it could have been resulted from doing some Gym exercises where i picked up some weights. I am not into power exercises.
What can i do get myself checked by a professional? Are there any other treatment i can try myself. I pain is mild but i fear its not going away and may worsen in future.
Regards,
XXXXX

Brief Answer:
Lifestyle modification, exercise, Physiotherapy, medication
Detailed Answer:
Hi there.
Thanks for the query.
Low back pain is common in our population these days. In your case, the weight lifting could have contributed.
It is advisable to try physiotherapy, back extension exercises for 2 months. If they aren't helping, you can consult with a Spine surgeon.
For pain relieve, apply hot packs to the painful regions. Avoid bending forwards or lifting weights. Take Tablet Diclofenac with Thicolchicoside combination twice a day for 5 days after meals and Tablet Ranitidine 150mg for 5 days before meals.
Apply pain killer gel like Diclogel for relief.
It would also be wise to get a lumbosacral spine Xray.
I hope I have answered your query.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
