Hi, I have lower back pain from a car accident in February. My left arm has pain and when I sit longer than 1.5 hours, my left back/side ribs give pain that cause me to stand or shift position a lot, the pain takes a long time to go away...even laying down doesn't give full relief

Hi
Since your backache has been there for more than 2 months i suggest u get xray lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral view. In the meantime u can start with a muscle relaxant( chlorzoxane)twice a day n take 7 -10 sittings of short wave diathermy in consultation with the physiotherapist.
Once your pain subsides you can begin with back strengthening exercises
