Brief Answer:
Features suggestive of Lumbago

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, Hi
Welcome.

I appreciate your concern for the low back.
After having gone through the history described in your I am of the opinion that you have developed low back pain which is referred to as "Lumbago".

It can be caused by a number of factors such as working sitting down in the wrong position for hours together, suddenly making the wrong movement or turning around or a combination of both, lifting something in the wrong posture or one sided pressure being exerted on the back.

It can also be caused by psychological factors such as stress, overwork, depression, fear, etc.

Kindly provide the following details:

1. Are you overweight?
2. Does this pain radiate (moves down) to the legs?
3. Do you have any tingling sensation in the thigh or legs?

Awaiting your reply.

Best regards.

Brief Answer:
Life style modification is recommended.

Detailed Answer:
Hi!
Thanks for your compliment and the follow up query.
Glad to know that you are not overweight & the pain is more of localized in nature.

You seem to have some sort of muscle sprain responsible for the back ache and this appears to be due to prolonged sitting postures or sitting in a wrong posture, etc.

There is nothing to worry about it.

You need to have some life style modification to over come this problem like;

1. Avoid prolonged sitting on the desk top, improve your posture, have frequent breaks in between
2. Avoid stress if you have
3. Avoid lifting or shifting heavy objects
4. Do regular exercise

For immediate relief of pain you may take Paracetamol or Ibuprofen tablets.
You may also apply Diclofenac or Mefenemic acid gel on the affected part.

If the symptom persist or if you start getting radiating pain to the legs with or without tingling or numbness sensation, an orthopedic consultation is advised.

Hope I could answer your query.

Wishing you best of your health.

Brief Answer:
You may continue doing exercise.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your compliment and the follow up query.

Honestly speaking doing exercise in a proper way will solve your problem.

Avoid weight lifting exercise like weights, you can do bench press for chest & should exercise. While in sleeping position you can raise your legs up to 45 degree one at a time this will definitely reduce the spasms at the back muscle.

You must avoid using soft mattress, you may sleep on the floor with proper thick bed sheet, you may change your position to either left or right if you are comfortable.

Hope I could answer your query.
Wishing you best of your health.
