Suggest Treatment For Discomfort In My Lower Back

Hello my name is Nelson
My lower back has gotten wise since I had gotten out of the military. I've been out for three years now an when I bend over it crackles almost like bubble rap. When I cough feel a pop on my lower back as well. I am constantly putting ice on lower back. My question now is what might be happening?
The next thing is I black out when I stand from a squatted or bent position. Is this related to my lower back?

Hi, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. You need to done MRI to rule out other causes. Back exercises, neurotropics such as mecobalamine and analgesics (DICLOFENAC SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relie. If vitamin D is low than its supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Your black out when you stand from a squatted or bent position is not related to lower back problem. It is related to postural hypo tension.What is your BP? You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
