Suggest Treatment For Acute Lower Back Pain

Lumbar Spondylosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, I am Dr Gopal Goel , Orthopedic Surgeon
You have bilateral low back pain for 10 days and you have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and are on methotrexate.
Methotrexate does not cause back pain - so no worries on this account.
In my opinion you have back pain due to Lumbar Spondylosis which is a common condition - a degenerative change happening in your lumbar spine with age. Rheumatoid Arthritis can be a contributory factor - but it happens in late stage.
I suggest you start pain killers , muscle relaxants and most important - Isometric Back Exercises which any physiotherapist can teach you.In case you don't get relief in 10 days , go for an X Ray of lower back.
Hope I have answered your question. Pl don't hesitate to ask any further questions.
