Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain In The Lower Left Side Of The Back?
I have moderate pain in my lower left side of my back. I feel it most when standing and trying to lift my left leg (ie up walking up stairs) or trying to bend over to reach something. I have had problems with my left hip hurting on and off recently but that pain has been tolerable. The lower back is preventing me to do a lot of my normal activities. I am a 45 year old female.
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan to rule out spine related problems like a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
