Sudden lower back pain
About 2 weeks ago while getting up from a chair I felt a sudden sharp pain on the left side of my lower back (even below). I don't think it is in any bone or joint. But the pain is persisting since then, and I am finding it difficult to sit for long, or bend and pick up things from the ground. Please advise!
Pain might be arising from lower lumbar spine or u might have strained your lower back muscle. However there seems to be no serious issues as per your complaint.
Next Steps
Take analgesic for a week with local spray/ gel
Hot fomenting
If pain permits do back and core strengthening exercises as per your tolerance
Gradually build up on walking/ jogging
Maintain proper posture.
If it persist better consult a specialist
