Suggest Treatment For Arthritis And Lower Back Pain
Hi I am a 47 year old female beauty therapist and have had a bad back for a couple of years. I have just had an X-ray on my lower back and have been told I have moderate arthritis in my spine and worse in L5 S1, the pain I have is in my lower back with aching in my glutes and down my legs, I have had 2 sessions with a physio and since then have had fluttery feelings mainly on my right side middle back and lower back. Could this be caused by the joints rubbing together?

Hi,
The fluttering you feel in the lower back could be intestinal movements with gas (stimulated by physiotherapy exercises which is a good sign for health) or muscle twitches due to irritated or pinched nerves in arthritis joint... (Needs to be confirmed by MEI... followed by revision of the physiotherapy exercises).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
