What Causes Muscle Strain In Lower Back Along With Restricted Movement?

I have had a bad lower back muscle strain that causes me to be rigid when I walk and causes me to grunt and breath in short breaths when I walk or do anything physical. it seems that my hear rate goes up during that time and then slows down when I rest. Can the strain of physical activity cause this?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have muscle strain in lower back along with restricted movement. The symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like wrong movement , lifting heavy abject , slip disc or inflammation in disc . I would suggest you to take proper rest , apply warm compresses to back several times a day , apply over the counter anti inflammatory gel and avoid lifting heavy objects . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order x-ray or CT scan . Doctor may prescribe orthodox MR , vitamin supplement along with physical therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
