I lifted something very heavy on Wednesday after that my lower back and back have severly been aching me to the point I can hardly do much.because of it my abdominal aches and pains especially on my left side which radiates down to my left leg.. What can be the cause? I picked up a very heavy wet blanket
Dear patient Pain in Lower back that radiates in lower limb and started immediately after lifting weight can be explained by disc prolapse with nerve root compression.  Sudden lifting of heavy weight should be avoided as it leads to stress in your back and hence can lead to disc prolapse.  This needs to be investigated with 1. X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views 2. MRI of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine to confirm diagnosis.  You need to visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Meanwhile, take strict bed rest and take tab Myosins forte twice a day. Take tab pregabalin 75\u00a0mg at bedtime for 10 days.  You need to consult expert spine surgeon with MRI report. All the best.
