Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain
Hey doc, I m dealing with some intense lower back pain from where I think is the lower part of my spine, more specifically the coccyx area. Background-wise, I m a college student who is currently spending the majority of his summer vac at home. What do you recommend I do to remedy this pain? It s been going on for a good 4 months and the pain intensified just recently.

Hello. Good day. Thanks for writing to HCM. I am Dr Praveen and I will be answering your query today.
Since you have chronic low back ache you need to be evaluated with an x-ray to start with. If it shows spondylosis, low back exercise with pain killers for a few days will be enough. If the disc space is narrowed you will need an MRI. Maintain a good posture. Please see an orthopedician.
Wishing you good health.
Warm regards.
