Hi. Since last night I ve been having terrible back pain , I couldn t sleep coz I kept tossing and turning in order to find a comfortable position. Although I was really cold and covered under two blankets I was sweating like crazy. I also had pain at the sides of the lower back. This morning when I woke up I couldn t leave the bed for my bak was hurting too much, and now it crawled up to my neck and I feel dizzy every time I stand up. Please help! I already took painkillers and I m still in bed coz of the pain and dizziness

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The sudden appearance of an acute back pain could be due to a muscle spasm or acute disc prolapse. Proper examination and investigations like MRI are needed to find out the cause. Till then taking oral muscle relaxants will help you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
