What Causes Severe Pain And Stiffness In The Lower Back?

I have low back pain and extreme stiffness in the morning. Both of my hand gets sore and wrists get weak, usually not at the same time. Seems more joint related. Sometimes I get nerve pain in my fingers . Sometimes pain on top of right foot and now left leg up per righ of knee. Years ago was diagnosed with herniated disk 5. I don t have a regular doctor and need to know if there is a specific kind of doctor I should see. Also, could this all be back related or possibly arthritis or fibromyalgia? Who can help me get to the bottom of this? It s been going on for months now. I m tired of being in pain and missing too much work.

Hi,

You may be suffering from a herniated disc or lumbar spondylosis.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid heavy weight lifting, avoid alcohol consumption.

Please get IT done MRI brain and spine, nerve conduction study, Ra factor, ESR etc.

Please consult your neuro physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
