Suggest Remedy For Lower Back Pain

I was hit by a car in December 2013, after getting other injuries addressed I am still left with low back pain, awake at night with both legs numb and tingling, until I move around. Recent X-rays show spondylatic changes and levoscolicsis in L5 and S1, MRI scheduled in August. Could this also be the result of the accident. I never had low back pain prior to this event.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Yes it can be related to the injuries in 2013.
2.It may be incidentally started recently after the injury.
3.The x-ray findings says left sided tilt if the spine and spondylotic changes, these are seen in some age related cases, excessive hard working people.
4.Its good you had an appointment with MRI scan, it will exactly give a picture about the status of the desc, nerve, chord. ( which are not seen in case of x-ray)
5.Ifeel like you have to start with back pain exercises and lie on the flat bed and maintain position on daily basis - this itself will help you to get relief.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
