What Does Severe Pain In The Abdomen And Back Indicate?
Question: My back is aching all the way across in thewaist and below the waist. Has continued to get worse since yesterday.
Brief Answer:
Could be due to muscle spasms
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your back pain could be due to muscle spasm. Hot compress should provide relief.
The vicious cycle of pain and spasm needs to be broken and I would insist you to take Paracetamol or Acetaminophen two tablets together twice or thrice daily for the next 3 days.
This should ease the problem and make it go away. If it does not spondylosis could be another cause to consider.
I would insist you to get an X-ray of Lumbosacral spine (AP and lateral) done and to see a physical therapist with the reports.
Based on the findings he would be able to demonstrate to you proper exercises that should provide relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
