Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can Left-sided Lower Back Pain While Sitting And Exercising Be Treated?
Hello Dr. I have lower back pain on the left side. I do not get constant pain. It is only when I sit on the floor or do some exercise. I just took tylenol last night and am experiencing relatively less pain, but do have some stiffness. Please help me. Also, I am a little drowsy since morning and am not sure if that is because of the medicine.
Hello and thank you for the question. The reason you have back pain while sitting in the floor or exercising is because in those conditions the back muscles maximally come into play. To answer your other question yes one of the known side effects of Tylenol is drowsiness. Here are my suggestions: 1) switch from Tylenol to flexon MR 500mg twice a day 2) Avoid rigorous exercise for 3 weeks 3) Ice pack to your lower left back after exercise I hope it helps.
