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.
Hello, I am a 56 year old woman, I work in an oil refinery and I have had several bouts with back pain for which I had steroid injections. I have weakness in my back that only allows me to do 3 minutes or so of standing at the kitchen sink or bending over to pick up toys. I have to sit down for 3 to 5 minutes and then do 3 to 5 minutes then sit then stand, this is the only way I can get anything done, my back becomes very weak and I HAVE to sit down. Just walking or standing is not nearly as difficult

What Causes Recurrent Bouts Of Back Pain?
Hi This sounds like arthritis . You need to see an orthopedician and get some X-rays of the spine to look for any degeneration. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
