What Is The Reason For Lower Back Pain, Sore Hips, Feeling Cold And Shivering?
I attended a funeral yesterday and standing with high heels. I woke up at 2am with lower back pain and right sore hips. I also felt very cold and shivering, so I had to put the electric blanket on and took ant inflame tablets. It still sore but not as bad.

Hi,Dear.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.
The pain and soreness in your lower back is due to prolonged use of high heels.Let me explain you:
The normal s-curve shape of the back acts as a shock absorber, reducing stress on the vertebrae. Wearing high heels causes lumbar (low-back) spine flattening and a posterior (backward) displacement of the head and thoracic (mid-back) spine. High heel shoes cause you to lean forward and the body's response to that is to decrease the forward curve of your lower back to help keep you in line. Poor alignment may lead to muscle overuse and back pain.
The hip flexor muscles are located on the upper front part of your thighs. They are forced to work much harder and longer to help you walk because your feet are held in a downward position (plantarflexed) and have reduced power to move your body forward. If your hip flexor muscles are chronically overused, the muscles can shorten and develops fatigue.Which may lead to sore and stiff muscles.
So You can continue taking anti inflammatory drugs for 3 days for effective pain relief.Avoid wearing high heels.Do yoga and stretching exercises.You will be fine soon.
It is recommended that you only wear high heels for special occasions and even then only a heel height of 1 1/2 inches.
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.
