Bad back catch

2020-07-06 14:31:36
My husband has a very bad catch on his lower back since afternoon. Exactly where the back meets the buttock. He is able to move only with support but a lot in pain. Kept hot water back in the affected area. I need some suggestion as to what we could do at home to get relief or does it need any urgent medical attention.

Start with posture care, and walk within limits of pain,. Hot fomentation , gentle massage and anti inflammatory medicines.

How did it occur? Lifting anything? Getting up from ground? Fall? If pain is like a catch then maybe disc prolapse.
Next Steps
Not to bend or sit on ground. No lifting weights. Painkillers
Health Tips
If no improvement may require imaging n consult. Thanks
