Lower back pain
Hello Doctor,
I've been getting lower back pain since 5 years. Sometimes it's so difficult to even stand because of the pain. In 2015, I had a surgery and screw insertion (5) in my tibial bone, got them out last year. After d surgery, thr was numbness which I felt would subside but it hasnt n now my doctor adviced me to take a back xray to rule out the problem. The report states loss of lumbar lordosis. Could you please explain. I recently joined swimming and have been getting severe pain. Is it ok to swim or should I avoid??. I'm a hypothyroid patient so it could even be due to the excess weight gain. But is there a cure, exercise or medication? Please advice..
