What Causes Recurring Back Lower Back Pains And Dizziness?
Hi, I have been experiencing on and off lower back pains and when I do have them they are very painful. I also get back pains and lightheaded when I stand for a long period of time. What does this mean?? (Sidenote: I was also diagnosed with very mild scoliosis)

Hi, thank you for posting!
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Your symptoms are caused by neck and lumbar arthritis. Dizziness is caused by neck arthritis.
Physical exercises, massage and non steroidal anti inflammatory medications can help you.
To confirm the diagnosis you need:
1. Lumbar and neck Ct-scan.
2. Complete blood count.
3. Fibrinogen test.
4. Urine test.
5. Glucose test.
You should consult your neurologist for the diagnosis and treatment.
All the best.
Dr. Behar.
