Suddenly yesterday afternoon my lower back starting hurting and I couldnt sleep last night. I do stand and walk alot at my job and I am also riding on a school bus for about an hour bouncing around on the seat. I also have a small ranch and have chores to do where I have to bend down and over. I havent experienced this kind of pain before, what do you think could have caused this. I am 5 ft tall and about 110 lbs.Never mind, I didnt know I had to pay to ask a question, cannot afford this. Thank you anyway.
HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely a strain of back muscles. It can happen while assuming into an award posture or lifting something or while climbing stairs. It is better to have an orthopedic examination to rule out other conditions effecting spine like disc herniation. For back strain I advise my patients with a short course of NSAIDs like Diclofenac and Muscle relaxant like thiocolchicoside. For some I give Gels with NSAIDs like diclofenac and capsaicin for local application. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
