Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have severe lower back pain . Well there can be many reasons possible for lower back pain like muscle or ligament strain : Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement may strain back muscles and spinal ligaments , bulging or ruptured disks , arthritis in the spine can lead to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, a condition called spinal stenosis , skeletal irregularities or spine curves abnormally or osteoporosis. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon . Doctor may order X-ray , MRI ,CT scan , blood test bone scan and electromyography . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , narcotics , anti depressants and steroid injection . For now do light lower back stretching exercises and start physical therapy of lower back .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
