What Causes Left Sided Lower Back Pain?
50 year old female. Lower back pain mainly on left side but also pain in left front. Does'nt hurt to walk or stand but I can feel it when getting up and also raising either knee as to put on shoes is when it hurts the most. Muscle or bone do you think?

Hi, welcome to health care magic.after going through your query my opinion is that you are suffering from compression of nerve root. Mostly it may be due to disc prolapse. Please consult orthopaedic surgeon and get an MRI of Lumbosacral spine done and scanning of whole spine done. Take analgesic s, muscle relaxants, hot fomentation and flexor regime exercises. Avoid lifting weight and forward bending. Hope your query get solved. Welcome further queries.
