Pain In The Lower Back. Hurts To Sit, Bend. Not Because Of Vigorous Exercise. Diagnosis?
Hi,
I'm a 19 year old female , and lately my lower back (near my tailbone) has started hurting. My neck also feels sore and I crack it often to relieve the stiffness. It's not terribly painful , but sometimes it's difficult to sit down and it hurts when I bend or stretch. Since I'm in university, I spend lots of time sitting on hard cramped chairs with attached desks. I'm in decent physical condition, weight 56kg and height 5'4". I am fairly active but haven't worked out in a long time , so it can't be because of suddenly working out vigorously. I haven't fallen or injured my self at all, except for a minor ankle sprain. My lower back hurts and it's almost impossible to bend over and hurts when I was. I was taking mobizox for the possible inflammation . Any diagnosis or suggestions?

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to sitting on hard surface for long time sacrum seems to be injurerd due to microtauma there may be fibrosis formation
Do hot fomentation over sacrum. It will take weeks to months to subside.
Use ring cushion and take sitz bath.
If not relieved then local injection may be required.
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.
Take care
Regards
