SIR, I AM HAVING LOWER BACK PAIN SINCE 3 DAYS AND CAUSED WHILE PUTTING STRAPS TO MY SANDLES IN STANDING POSITION.I HAVE TRIED PAIN RELIEVER GELS AND MASSAGE WHICH IS OF ONLY SOME RELIEF. WHILE SITTING OK.BENDING IS NOT POSSIBLE AND IF DO VERY PAINFUL. KINDLY HELP ME SIR,
For starters, If possible take some rest and analgesics with muscle relaxant, antacids,avoid forward bending, wt lifting sitting below the level of knees. If pain doesn't get relieved Further investigation is required and expert opinion is needed. Go for X-ray. If X-ray is normal than rest, medication and physiotherapy will do. If X-ray is suggestive of any bony problem than follow the expert s advice. If pain persist after initial rest, medication as prescribed by expert and if expert thinks than only go for MRI because it's expensive.Don't take it lightly because it can persist if proper care and treatment not taken on time, for some time and over the period of time. Hope it was helpful. Take care and be careful.
