Have Suddenly Got Very Stiff Lowe Back After I Woke
Question: have suddenly got very stiff lowe back after i woke up. movement restricted since yesterday. pain experience when i sit on floor or try to lift my feel while sitting on sofa.
Brief Answer:
Can be due to a back muscle spasm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have read your problem in detail.
A stiff lower back after waking up can happen due to back muscle spasm or a strain of the back muscles or a beat up mattress providing inadequate rest to the back. Usually this subsides with rest and oral muscle relaxants. Doing a hot compress and application of muscle relaxant gel like volini will also help. Any pathology in the soft tissue can be detected after an MRI scan.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
