Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain
I've had lower pack pain for over a week after helping move boxes in my office. Today the pain is mostly on the right side and whenever I take in a breath, the pain is very sharp. Sitting is uncomfortable and so is lying down. Standing is the most tolerable. No fever, no vomiting. I drink nothing but water, no pop, no coffee.

Dear patient,
Thank You for choosing Health Care Magic.
I do understand your concern. What happened to You may be muscle soreness or muscle injury after lifting weights.
In the case of the soreness it means that you muscle are getting stronger in that area.
In the case of the injury, which is the most probably situation of your suffer, I will suggest not to worry too much, beacuse the muscle will regenerate itself. Give your organism its own time, helping it with proteins and sugar in your diet. Also consider massaging, or swimming in hot pools. If you can not afford this, please let the hot water run in that area that aches while you are in douche. Cover it up with some topical antiinflammatory cream and consider buying some muscle patches that are sticked in your skin and do not let the muscle move, giving it time to regenerate. I think these are found in your nearest drugstore.
Consider drinking Herbal tee like camommille, that together with the topical cream will relieve the pain. If it is too strong you may take some oral ibuprofene.
Diet, massage, and the belt or the patch, will help the muscle regenerate.
Do not stress, or exercise this period.
All the best,
Dr. Eni
