Have Constant Pain In Lower Back. X Ray Reported Normal. Taking Proper Diet. How To Get Relief?
hello doctor, I ve had this constant pain in my lower back region for some time now, it does nt affect my everyday activities put its painful when i move or twist my body,i ve had an x-tray in the past put they said it didn t show anything,i m 38, normal/average wieght, eat well and moderately active but it s been really upsetting to know that this pain wont go away.....what do you think it might be
Hi Juantamcintosh, Its fairly common to have this kind of back pain at your age. It is most likely an early disc degeneration of lumbar spine, though the details given by you are inadequate to rule out other causes.
You should avoid certain activities that involve bending forward and lifting weights, sitting in slumped posture or sitting for ling hours. It would be useful to see a physiotherapist to train your back for good posture and other activities and learn some back muscle strengthening excersises.
If the pain increases or persists or runs down your thighs or legs, or if you have any numbness or tingling sensation in your feet, then you should visit your orthopedic surgeon again.
