What Causes Lower Back Pain While Doing Physical Activity Post An Injury?

Hello. I work as a PCA for the elderly, a month ago I went to lift a client and she didn t follow standard precautions by pushuing up as I used a gait belt, I pulled something in my lower back, the pain was severe, went away for a few weeks and now the simplest of tasks as in (scooping my cats litter box) or vacuuming, anything bending down gives my lower back AGONIZING pain, even laying on my back gives me severe pain where I get maybe 3 hours of sleep per night. I ve seen my primary before for pain, all they ve been giving me is hydrocodone10s, which don t relieve the pain, how can I ask my doctor for something stronger without looking like people who search for drugs to abuse. Clearly not my case

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be a contusion. As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
