Lower back when sitting for long time

2020-11-29 12:09:57
Hi, I am getting pain in my lower back since last 2 weeks when I sit for 1-2 hours. And it goes away when I stand and walk. I also feel better after applying iodex or balm. Can you tell me what is it? And how to treat it?

This pain is mostly because of acute muscle spasm in lower back region.. Might have occurred due to some heavy weight lifting or jerk while working..

You can start with hot fomentation,  take analgesic with muscle relaxant tablet,  apply analgesic ointment locally. Plan for getting one x ray of lumbar spine if pain doesn't settle down .
Health Tips
Avoid heavy work,  avoid sitting down,  avoid Indian toilet,  avoid forward bending..
