What Causes Severe Lower Back Pain After Being Treated For Osteoporosis?

I am having a lower back pain. When I get up from my sleep in the morning my back is very stiff. I take 2 tablets panadiene but does not help. I also use a hot pack on my back but it only gives momentary relief. I am also under treatment for osteoporosis. Please advise.

Thank you for choosing HCM

Based on your description, it is likely that osteoporosis can be causing the pain that you are having. I do hope that your Doctor has started you on Vitamin D and Calcium to help prevent the problems and symptoms as far as possible.

There are a few more things that you can do to see if they help:
Ice the back for 15 mins at a time
Then warm the back with a hot pack for 5 mins
Repeat this after 1 hour
Also, you can do stretches for the lower back and also massage the area.

Follow up after 5 days. All the best. Another therapy is giving local injections to stop the pain but this is a last resort.
Hope this helps you
