Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 58 and over weight. I leaned over to place several objects on a table to prepare for a yard sale. After straightening back up I felt like I had a catch in my lower back. It is very painful to stand up a walk after sitting or lying down. The pain feels like it is in the spinal area. What can I do to relive the pain?
Dear patient it seems you have sprained your back. Treatment is tab Dan MR twice a day for 5 days with tab ultracet twice a day for 5 days. Take rest on hard bed. Avoid weight lifting for few days. Rest is as important as medications. if not relieved in 5 days please contact orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area.
