Extreme lower back pain

2018-06-29 01:47:48
I am having severe lower back pain just above my tail bone. It is a dull throbbing pain that also causes shooting pain down my leg. The pain does not radiate towards my abdomen, i have no pain with urination or inconstinance. The pain has been constant for a week now. I have tried rotating ibuprofen max strength and tylenol, i have also tried heating pads and ice packs, stretching and hot baths.. and nothing is working. Please help.

you are probably having disc prolapse with sciatica. kindly consult an orthopaedic surgeon who will examine you and based on your symptoms will prescribe treatment. since there are no neurological signs one physiotherapy will help. but only after examination by a doctor
