Day before yesterday I had severe back pain in my lower back and I couldn t bend forward, I got myself checked by doctor next and had X-ray done, there was no bone injury as such but the report says loss of lumbar lordosis. I wanted to know that is it something serious as I am getting married in next 20 days so I am lil worried?? Are there any complications or implications?? Can I get back to my normal routine?? Is it safe to exercise?? Please advise.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Loss of lumbar lordosis may be due to spasm of paravertebral muscles.It also occurs in many other conditions.
At present you should take complete rest.
Hot fomentation is also helpful in this condition.
You can take analgesics with muscle relaxants for 5 days.You can also take tablet pantoprazole 40 mg once daily for 10 days as these medicines causes acidity.
Avoid abrupt forward bending and avoid lifting heavy objects.
Get well soon.
Take Care
