How Can severe Lower Back Pain Be Treated?

I have been having this pain that is roaming around my body for about a week. It started as a sore,tired back from golfing. Next day I lifted something heavy and started having a pain in my lower back on the right side. Then it moved up to my upper right side of my back. Now it still hurts in my upper right back but also in my upper right chest. When I take a deep breath that is when it hurts bad. Also have had a dry cough for about the last 4 weeks

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion you may have a kind of a muscular spasm or sprain , your cough may exaggerate your pain , i do not want you to worry sometimes pain subside simultaneously with rest and even without medications .
Avoid heavy lifting , vigorous movements , bending for a long time . you may use painkillers like advil tabs when needed , hot massages with topical gels , B12 vitamin supplements , muscle relaxants will be effective for most of cases .
Physiotherapy sessions with a chiropractor , spinal straightening exercises , massages and even yoga is very helpful .
If pain persist i recommend X rays and MRI on spine and visit your physician for proper evaluation and management .
