Lower back pain

2020-06-21 06:03:25
Since lockdown, I tend to do lot of house hold chores. Like standing in kitchen for longs hours. And I'm also working on my laptop 8 to 10 hrs a day either on bed or on floor. I'm witnessing frequent lower back pain which will subside only if I lie down for a while. Please suggest.

Hello dear I have been witnessing a lot of patients like you amidst this lockdown. The domestic help is gone and we need to manage everything ourselves. Now one thing you must understand that this weakness in your back has been there for pretty long and has manifested now because of increased work load. So you need to be screened for vitamin deficiencies and supplemented adequately. Also your ergonomics need to be corrected and back muscles strengthening exercises to be started.

This is very common especially in people who sit for a long time. It's very important to take care of the posture , avoid sitting for more than 45 min at a stretch , walk daily 50 min and do back strengthening exercises. Hot packs and ointment will help . Desktop is a better option .
