My name is Patti. Im female, 59.  Having severe left side lower back pain every night while in bed.  Trying to get myself up I feel horrible pain.  It subsides most of the way after im up and about and walking around.  Is this something I should see my Dr about?
Dear madam, i would like to know any history of tingling or numbness in your lower limbs, any history of weakness or urinary or bowel disturbances.I would also examine your back for bony tenderness. Based on your description my differentials would be acute muscle strain for which rest and analgesics would sufficed for which bed rest analgesics and hot fomentation would do initially lumbar spondylosis which requires back physiotherapy, analgesics .
