Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain

I have been experiencing right side lower back pain. This has been going for a while. Lately it has been severe. I am unable to walk,sit or lay down other than briefly. Pain pills of script strength have no effect muscle relaxers also have no effect. The pain will move from the right side to the middle lower back. Wearing pants with belt or elastic waist makes it worst. Ibuprophen is the only thing that relieves the pain temporarily.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello! I read your concerns. Low back pain is commonly caused by muscle spasms which could be due to posture, heavy activity, or trauma. However, since muscle relaxants don't work on you, it could be something else-- slipped disc, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, kidney stones, and other causes. If I was your treating physician, I suggest you do a simple xray of your lower back to rule out spinal causes. I hope you get well soon. Have a nice day!
