What Causes Sharp Pain In The Lower Back And Cervix Area?

Ok went down to get a load of laundry out. As I bent over I heard a load pop/crack like sound. I couldn t move from that position till my son came to help me. As he s trying to help me get back upstairs I m having severe pain in that area in my lower back. But also my cervix area. And also in my right leg. It s hard to walk applying pressure.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, you have herniated disc also called intervertebral disc prolapse. You should get MRI of lumbar spine. I advise bed rest on hard bed for 3 days. After that avoid spine flexion or bending for a week. Take tablet aceclofenic as painkiller as and chlorzoxone or thiocolchicoside or tizanidine should be taken as muscle relaxant. You should do exercises to strengthen back muscles but start these exercises after one month.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
