Should I Be Concerned Of Having Bouts Of Lower Back Pain Which Is Crippling And Lasts For Few Minutes?

I have bouts of lower back pain which is crippling and can last for a minute up to10 minutes. It is accompanied by a taste in my mouth like gas. I can go months without an attack and then have several in a day. Any ideas on what this could be is appreciated. Thanks. Louise

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The sudden intermittent sever attacks of low back pain are likely to be related to muscle spasms in the area. This could be due to a positional anomaly also. Regular physiotherapy will be helpful in reducing these.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
