Severe Lower Back Pain And Morning Stiffness, It Persists For An Hour. Have History Of Gout. Treatment?

I get morning stiffness and feel severe lower back pain while getting up from bed. The pain persists for about an hour or so and then slowly goes away. However the pain comes back if I get up after sitting at one place for a long time, say for about 2 hours or more. Four years back I was diagnosed as suffering from gout.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

According to the clinical history provided the back pain could be part of a mechanical back pain complex of symptoms. This mechanical back pain is caused due to bad posture at work, long work-hours in particular position, lack of proper sleep or healthy diet as well.
I suggest you to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Orthopedician or Physiotherapist.
One must also rule out inflammatory disorders, for which I recommend you to get a X-ray of your spine after consulting with an Orthopedician

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
