What Causes Lower Back Pain While On Cardiac Catheterisation?
Brief Answer:
Following advice
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Unless you have lumbar spine spondylitis your symptoms are related to cardiac catheterisation.
During the heart catheterisation the patients should stay on a laying position for hours causing back pain. The pain will persist a couple of days (2-6 days).
If you were my patient I would recommend to use advil and deep relief cream to relieve the pain.
If the symptoms will persist then you should do a lumbar spine x-ray to exclude spondylitis.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
