Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My lower back has been hurting since late December. My primary care physician ordered x-rays for me and nothing showed up. They said it is probably muscular but I've iced it, I've taken baths, used a heating pad, stretched it out, taken naproxen for inflammation and nothing helps. What do you think could be the problem and what do you suggest I do?
