Bad back catch
My husband has a very bad catch on his lower back since afternoon. Exactly where the back meets the buttock. He is able to move only with support but a lot in pain. Kept hot water back in the affected area.
I need some suggestion as to what we could do at home to get relief or does it need any urgent medical attention.
