Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain
Hi doc. I have a severe lower back pain. I have difficulty in seating long hours, standing up and even when lying down, it s very painful. Putting pillow against my back would comfort for sometime but when i move pain is there. It also hurts when i bend my knees. I took mefenamic tabs and apply mentholated ointment but those won t help either to ease the pain. It only started yesterday when i went to office. When i woke pain was still tolerable. Should I go to a hospital?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely Lumbago. This usually comes due to overstraining of back muscles. Wrong positions while you are working or due to overloading of spine. For such condition in my patients I would suggest taking muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside, NSAIDs like Nimusulide and anti inflammatory gels containing ketoprofen, methylsalicylate and capsaicin for local application. You can also give hot fomentation on back. Rest should be given for 3 days also. If there is no improvement then a consultation with orthopedian should be carried out to rule out any injury to intervertebral disc or spine.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if any thing not clear.
Thanks.
