What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Back?

I HAVE CHRONIC PAIN ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN MY BACK JUST TO THE LEFT OF MY SPINE. MY DOCTOR SAYS IT WOULDN T BE GALL BLADDER. SOMETIMES ITS WORSE THAN OTHERS. SOMETIMES IT DOES SEEM TO COME IN WAVES. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MUSCLE SPASMS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND TOOK MUSCLE RELAXERS WITH MINIMAL RELIEF. I M JUST A LITTLE WORRIED IT COULD BE SOMETING SERIOUS.

Hi,

In my opinion, all you need to do is give you back a little rest. For immediate relief have some pain killer along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for 2 weeks.

Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, do not sit for longer durations and do not travel long distance for 2 weeks. You can also apply some good anti-inflammatory pain killer gel on your back.

If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and make a routine of doing some back strengthening exercise daily. After 2 weeks start with some back strengthening exercise. It will help you build you back muscle and you will be able to continue with your practice in few weeks but do not over look at the symptoms right now. As it is still early days for you and you can be fine and back in action with these small things.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
