Suggest Remedy For Lower Back Pain On Lifting Heavy Things

Hi, I'm 22 and I suffer from constant lower back pain. The pain comes on if I stand around for any time but less so if I'm walking. Lifting heavy objects also heightens the pain. If I've been drinking alcohol the night before then the pain in my back is especially severe.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely due to lumbosacral intervertebtal herniation or sacro iliac joint arthritis.A physical examination with orthopedician can give clue for that and a X ray followed by MRI might be needed to confirm it.For sacroiliac joint arthritis a local injection of corticosteroids will give pain relief.If there is disc herniation or injury weight lifting should be avoided.Such case in my patients i treat with NSAIDs like Aceclofenac muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotropic drugs.I also send them for physiotherapy along with this.Lumbar supporting belt is also helpful.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
