Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain

I suffer from constant lower back pain. The pain comes on if I stand around for any time but less so if I'm walking. Lifting heavy objects also heightens the pain. If I've been drinking alcohol the night before then the pain in my back is especially severe.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be related to lumbosacral spine like intervertebral disc herniation. A physical examination with an orthopedician should be carried out to get clue for this. In case of any positive signs a X ray followed by MRI of lumbo sacral spine will confirm it. If it is that then muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside , NSAIDs like nimusulide and neurotropic drugs will help. Physiotherapy, muscle strengthening exercises and lumbar supporting belts will be helpful also. In case there no signs of such injury then it can be muscle strain . Short course NSAIDs and muscle relaxants will be helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
