Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
low back pain for last 6 month falls under chronic back ache and common reason are 1. muscular 2. instability 3.lumbar sponsylosis. If pain occurs only on sitting and activity which reduces on rest possibility is of muscular pain. if pain also occurs at night chances of sponsylosis is increase. You need to do xray of lumbo sacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm diagnosis. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab myoril 4 mg wice a day with diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for pain relief. hot water fomentation with water bag helps in reducing pain. If Xray is abnormal please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby you. all the best.
