What Causes Pain And Itching In The Lower Back?
I am overweight, sedentary with compressed disc disease. A week ago I worked in my yard pulling weeds and stooping, etc. THREE DAYS later I develop severe burning pain and itching along my lower back but not in my joints. What can I do to make it stop? I have been taking it easy ever since it started but it still hurts. Any thoughts?

Hi,
You are having musculoskeletal pain according to the mentioned history. It can be in form of muscular or ligament strain.
You can be prescribed a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug like Brufen and muscle relaxant like Chlorzoxazone for 5 days. Avoid strenuous activities and take rest.
If no improvement than consulting an orthopaedic surgeon for an examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
