What Causes Pain And Soreness In Lower Back?

Three months ago I fell while walking down stairs and landed on my back. No major pain at the time, just soreness. Now that area of my back is sore to the touch and sometimes tight, painful in the morning. It s the lower back, on the spine. I have no trouble with movement or lifting. Should I have an x ray? What are possible explanations?

Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your question.
I can understand your concern.

Low back pain can be due to a lot of reasons :

1.muscle strain
2.muscle spasm
3.osteoarthritis
4.Disc prolapse
5.HLA-B27 associated arthritis including ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease
6.spondylolisthesis

That's all about the information. Do not worry too much.

I would suggest you to take combination drug containing Tablet Flupirtine 325 mg and Paracetamol 325 mg once daily X 14 days after food
and apply dry heat (with a warm cloth) over the lower back twice daily.

I would also suggest you to visit an orthopaedician. He can guide you on the further managements after proper examination.

Hope this helps.

Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
