Could Lower Back Pain Be Due To Pulled Muscle While Playing?
My son is 12 and plays hockey, baseball & football. He is complaining of lower back pain. He takes ibuprofen and it goes away only to return when he is playing football. Could this be a pulled muscle? This has been off & in for 5 months or so. He only complains when playing
I have studied your case. Pulled muscle may not long for 5 months. I will advise you to do x ray spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
