What Does Pain In The Lower Back Indicate?
Yes.
I have a dull pain in my left lower back. I first thought I just over did it while working on my car after an afternoon motorcycle ride. I have no pain when sleeping, ie, nothing is waking me up. When I first get up, no pain, but it sets in after moving around for about a half hour. It comes and goes through the day. If I set in a comfortable chair (like a lazyboy), the pain subsides, but comes back when I start to move around. Sitting in the car is a little tricky since sometimes I have the pain. If I lean a little to the right, it subsides.

Dear patient
your symptoms points towards diagnosis of mechanical back ache reason being muscle spasm or instability of lumbar spine. I would advise xray of lumbo sacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to go firm diagnosis. Start tab myoril 4mg twice a day with tab diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for 5 days. Take rest on hard bed. If Xray is abnormal you need to visit orthopedic surgeon nearby you.
