Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician (Ex Govt Medical Officer at RML Hospital, New Delhi), and your case has been allotted to me. Thank you for sharing your symptoms. I understand your discomfort. Based on your description, your pain pattern on getting up from sitting and spreading across lower back muscles is most suggestive of mechanical low back pain or muscle spasm, which is very common at this age. At present, it does not appear to be a serious condition if there is no radiation to legs, numbness, or weakness. ⸻ What you should do now • Avoid prolonged sitting and sudden bending • Use proper back support while sitting • Apply local heat (hot fomentation) 2 to 3 times daily • Continue light activity do not take complete bed rest ⸻ Medicines • Pain relief medicines and muscle relaxants can help short term • Local gel like diclofenac can be used ⸻ Exercises • Start gentle back strengthening and stretching exercises once pain reduces • Core strengthening is important to prevent recurrence ⸻ When to consult a doctor immediately • If pain radiates to legs • If there is numbness or weakness • If pain persists beyond 1 to 2 weeks ⸻ Important reassurance Most cases of this type are muscle related and improve with proper posture, exercises, and short term medication. ⸻ For a personalised exercise plan and treatment guidance, you can reach out to me directly on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Dr. Romain Rajan General Physician

Either you have had a muscle pull or soft tissue tear or injury. It can be confirmed by mri. Take tab flexon m.r. one every 8hours for 4 days after meals. Tab shelcal 300mg one daily for 30 days. Diclofenac ointment over lower back, 2 to 3 times daily, but avoid massage. Do hot compression as well.Avoid bending.
