What Does Severe Pain In The Lower Back Indicate?
I had lower back pain to the point of not being about to walk, no pain down my legs but the pain in my back got worse when I was told to put a heat pad on my lower back. Then i got numbness down both arms and my adult children said I passed out for a second. I was taken to the hospital and ekg was fine and blood test was normal

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern
The back pain you are experiencing is likely muscular pain. You can apply ice on the area of pain. Take Ibuprofen 400 mg 6 times daily to reduce pain and inflammation. Take adequate rest.
If the pain does not subside in 7 days, follow up with your primary provider to get am Xray spine done.
