Hello doctor, I am suffering from pain in the backbone. The affected area is a very small portion at the end of the backbone. Pain occurs when I press that portion with fingertip, but the pain is so light that I can endure it without any problem. I am a 32 year old male, unmarried, and I am suffering from low back pain for the last two weeks. Is it a big problem or should I not worry?
Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com. There are many causes for low back pain. It can be due to faulty posture, related to weak muscles, issues with intervertebral disc, narrowing of spinal canal, any bony instability besides many other. So, accurate diagnosis is the key to proper management of the condition. If you have localized back pain with no other symptoms like radiating leg pain, neurological symptoms like numbness, weakness, paresthesias, etc., then you can start with the following recommendations for an initial period of 2-3 weeks. We will observe you for the next 2-3 weeks regarding how you respond to this conservative management protocol. If you are not feeling better, then we will have to get some investigations like dynamic x-rays of lower back and few blood tests for evaluation.
