How Can Pain In The Lower Back Be Treated?

I believe I injured my lower back while working out at the gym. It only hurts on my left lower side. I have injured it before, but it has usually gotten better within a week. This time, I ve been battling with the pain for over 2 weeks. I ve been taking it easy with exercises at the gym and using Salonpas with lidocane. It s not working.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
if pain is not relieved within 2 weeks you must have injured your back muscle during gym exercise. You should stop back exercise for a week. Start tab Dan MR twice a day for 5 days. apply dynapar gel locally at the site of pain. Avoid forward bending and weight lifting. This should relieve pain in 3 to 4 days. if pain persists even after 5 days of starting this drugs you need to consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby you. Xray of lumbo sacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views may need to be done.
