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 started having back pain yesterday morning. It came on very suddenly while I was climbing stairs. I had a backpack on my back, Also, it feels as if the pain is also manifesting in my right testicle, and on my right lower back. Is this normal if you've pulled a muscle carrying something heavy? How long should It last?
Back pain is most likely due to muscle spasm in your case.However you need proper clinical examination and investigations. Firstly,X-ray of L/S spine in AP/Lateral view should be taken. Generally spasm in para spinal muscle lead to strengthening of L/S spine. You may need rest and hot fomentation. You may also need analgesics and muscle relaxants.
Testicular pain also need proper clinical examination and ultrasound of scrotum can be done to exclude any pathology. Proper treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
