Pain in lower back.
Yesterday i went for running and after that i felt pain in my lower back i thought it will go on its own ,today morning i had to lift some 30-40 kgs bags shifting from one place to another at home,now after lifting those 5-6 bags i felt increase in my pain and my upper body is like towards right not centered like earlier and i feel moderate pain when ever i get up form chair or bed.i felt this pain earlier also but never consulted any doctoer because it got cured on its own and i stated having it some 6 years ago when i was doing gym i left the gym because of this pain.
i want to know the reason and treatment or cure for above said problem.
If you have not been doing physical exercise for some time and have started with inadequate warm up and strained yourself, then the pains are due to that. If you have taken all precautions and still have it then it is likely due to muscle pull. You will have to use an ice pack, take painkillers and also rest for a few days. Avoid lifting anything heavy and any gym for the near future. For exercises try yoga and core strengthening exercises.
If the pain persists or is getting worse even with treatment in another 6-8 weeks time, then see an Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon.
Hope this helps.
