What Causes Severe Lower Back Pain In Spite Of Taking Acupunture?
I ve been having g back pain in my lower back. I have long commutes to school every day, it takes a little over an hour to get there. I also work out 4 days a week. I also do air conditioning part time which is also very strenuous. I ve been having trouble getting out of bed and lifting light weight or even a sudden twist of my body really hurts my back. I ve tried getting a massage and I ve also tried acupuncture and nothing has helped. Its worse than it has ever been. Please help.

Hi,
You require to find out the cause of your backache.
Without knowing the cause it is useless to go for this type of procedure.
Seeing the symptoms it seems that this might be pinched nerve pressure giving this problem.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region for having degenerative changes in lower spines.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Avoid more bending, lifting heavy weight.
Go for back extension exercises.
Ok and take care.
