What Causes Severe Pain And Numbness In The Lower Back?
I have been having bad pain on the left side for a few days now in the lower back & around to the front. Also I am numb on the side . I went to an emergency clinic & they said it is probably a muscle . It wakes me up every night & I can t get comfortable. I do not have insurance at this time but it is starting to worry me

Hello,
It can be a simple musculoskeletal pain. As a first line management you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain.
If symptoms persist, you have to consult an orthopaedician and get an MRI scan done to look for spine related problems.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
