Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain After Excessive Strenuous Work

2 days ago we had a flood in our basement. We had been cleaning it up for over 7 hours. I had been going up and down cellar stairs that whole time. I had also been doing alot of pulling to get rugs up also. I woke up yesterday morning with lower back pain along with pain in my calves, butt and upper legs. I also had been walking 1-2 miles everyday also. So I m not sure if I just pulled muscles or not

Hi,

You seem to have developed severe muscular strain after the hardships you had undergone. You should take rest. Have massage with muscle relaxant cream over the counter. Apply hot or cold compresses as per relief you get. Take over the counter pill of Ibuprofen 400 mg 2 times a day after food. You should feel better in 24 hours. If not consult your physician for injectable medicines.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
