Suggest Remedy For Mild Pain In My Lower Back
i started a mild pain in my lower back last evening. I went off to sleep but did not have a good sleep as it would pain at night. In the morning when i woke up it again started to pain and it became worse with me getting severe pain at times. Now the situation is such that I am better when I am lying down on my sides but i find it difficult to stand. What could be the reason and is it very serious?

Welcome to health care magic.
1.The possible cause could be age related degenerative changes in middle and elderly patients, where as positional abnormalities in the younger patients.
2.In this case the treatment will be simple back exercises.
3.If does not gives relief - you may need to get an x-ray spine for a over view of the spine and intervertebral disc spaces, depending on findings physiotherapy will be helpful.
4.Finally when no betterment - an intervention / operative treatment is recommended, before that an MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
5.For back exercise please follow the link. http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Backpain/Pages/low-back-pain-exercises.aspx
