What Causes An Indentation On Left Side Of Lower Back?

I have an indention on my lower back on the left side that has been there for a year. No one seems to know what it is. I woke up this morning and now have an indention on the right side. they are very painful and change color. They are about the size of the palm of my hand and the area around the indentions are inflammed and are burning from the inside. Does any one have any ideas as to what this is?

Hello,

I have studied your case,

Canal stenosis leads to burning sensation and pain in your back and leg.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Epidural steroid shot can help.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
