What Causes Throbbing Pain In Lower Back And Spine Intensified On Breathing?

Hi, I am a 36 year old female, mother of 3 children, and I've been a roofer most of my life, until about a year ago. So back pain has always been an ongoing problem, but nothing major. All of a sudden I am having throbbing pain in my lower back, along the spine, intensified when I breath. What should I do.? What could this be?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms. It most probably suggests a pinched nerve in the lower back.

This can cause lower back pain, which can increase with deep breathing or coughing or bending down.

The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing MRI lumbo-sacral spine and the pain can be relieved by taking pregabalin capsules.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
