Pain In Lower Back Extends To Groin. Taking Rest Will Reduce The Pain. Problem?
I have been exercising for a while now and I have felt pressure in my lower back. I have now pulled it, think t was a kettle weight I lifted. The pain is on the right if my lower back and sometimes aches to the left and into my groin area. This pain can come and go. I can be in pain all day, go to bed and be fine in the morning. I can be ok, move and the pain starts again.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
The sciatic nerve ( S 2, 3, 4) emerge from lumbo-sacral region and supply back, thigh and below , so any disorder in vertebra (lumber and sacrum)develops pain in this nerve and its supplying area.
In your case pain , on both sides so may be due to any disease in lumber or sacrum vertebrae .
So consult an Orthopaedician and get M R I and blood test and deal accordingly.
Good luck.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
It seems that you have suffered a SOFT TISSUE STRAIN propably your muscles or ligaments.
The general management guidelines for this problem includes -
* Rest to the injured part and not involving in activities which puts additional strain on the injured tissues.
* Ice packing for about 20 minutes once in every 2 hours.
* Analgesic & anti inflammatory medications along with ocassional muscle relaxants
* Moist heat padding once the acute pain subsides
Hope this information is helpful. Good day

Hi,
The pain that you are experiencing must be due to compression of the nerve that comes out from the spinal cord and supplies the nearby areas.This compression occurs as a result of oedema around the nerve which is result of sudden strain or pull.In your case the strain came in the form of exercise.Full recovery will take around one week provided you take complete rest along with analgesics.Hot fomentation will also help.

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
From description , it seems you might developed muscular or ligamentous strain over back.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Meanwhile following measures will help with the pain
• Lie on a hard bed.
• Anti -inflammatory drugs like Tablet Motrin 1 tablet as and when required
• Avoid forward bending.
• Avoid strenuous activity & lifting heavy weights.
• Apply diclofenac gel on the affected area. Warm compresses will also help.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta
