Having a lower back pain from last 6 months which I presume,and been due to long sitting hours at office.But afterwards I had been quite active but the pain has constantly increased.I was in Delhi that time so could not contact you,and as per the consulted doctor this is due to stiff muscle.What should I do?
Dear patient low back pain for last 6-month falls under chronic backache, and common reason are 1. Muscular 2. Instability 3.lumbar spondylosis. If pain occurs only on sitting and activity which reduces on rest possibility is of muscular pain. If pain also occurs at night chances of spondylosis is increase. You need to do X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm diagnosis. Please get it done from radiology center nearby you. Meanwhile, start tab moral 4 mg nice a day with diclofenac sodium 50 mg twice a day for pain relief. Hot water fomentation with water bag helps in reducing pain. If X-ray is abnormal please consult orthopedic surgeon nearby you. All the best.
