Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Lower Back

I am 30 years old and overweight, but this morning I pulled something in my lower my back. I have a history of sciatic nerve damage, but have never been to the point I couldn't walk at all until today. I've been stuck flat on my back for 12 hours. Thank goodness my husband has been here to assist with restroom issues. Is this at all normal or should I have an ambulance get me to the ER? The pain is th worst I've ever had.

Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you are probably suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI scan.Its treatment is rest in position of relief, neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeperazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics . Second possibility is muscular pain. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics for nearly 5 days. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
