What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Question: Hi, I am experiencing lower back pain on both sides of my body. My lower abdomen on both side also feels sore. It feels better when I rub my lower back.
Brief Answer:
Muscular type of back pain
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
According to the symptoms you are describing seems like a muscular type of back pain. As you might have been informed back pain is very common throughout life and has many causes. The type of pain one should be worried is a irradiating pain to the legs with sphincter impairment.
This seems a benign one especially since it gets better with muscular massage. At these conditions I recommend a simple acetaminophen.
This will improve also the sensation on your lower abdomen.
Hope this helps.
