Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Low back pain with pain in feet can be due to sciatica (irritation of the nerve roots).
Other causes can be due to
- Diabetes,
- Lumbar spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back),
- Spondylolisthesis (a condition in which one vertebra slips forward over another one),
- Pregnancy,
- Muscle spasm in the back or buttocks,
- Being overweight,
- Not exercising regularly,
- Wearing high heels,
- Sleeping on a mattress that is too soft.
You can try home remedies like :
- Do not bend, lift, or sit in a soft, low chair; the pain will get worse.
- Cold/ Hot compress will help the pain.
- Lying on his or her back on a firm surface with a pillow under his or her knee.
- Lying on one's side with a pillow between the knees to keep the back straight.
- Sitting in a recliner chair is also helpful.
- Take Tab. Dolo or Brufen when the pain is unbearable.
If the symptoms persists or worsens it is best to meet a physician or orthopedician for a detailed examination and treatment.
I hope this answered your query.
