Lower back pain can be due to various reasons.
One of the most common maybe due to abnormal posturing of the spine while at work.
Usually it takes few weeks for complete relief even with medications and physiotherapy.
Kindly consult if you have associated radiating pain along lower limbs.
Next Steps
Continue medications and physiotherapy
Consult at a pain clinic in case of radiating pain or lower limb weakness
Not to panic

Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern â lower back pain can be very limiting, and when it does not improve even after a week of medicines and physiotherapy, it can feel discouraging. But with the right adjustments, most cases do improve.
â
Advices
⢠Avoid lifting heavy weights, sudden bending, or prolonged sitting â these often worsen lower back pain.
⢠Use a firm mattress and maintain good posture while sitting and standing.
⢠Gentle stretching, walking, and hot fomentation (warm compress) may provide additional relief.
ð What to Monitor
⢠Whether pain is reducing in intensity or spreading down the legs.
⢠Look for warning signs like tingling, numbness, or weakness in legs.
ð Management
Since you have already tried medicines and physiotherapy for one week without much benefit:
A reassessment of the diagnosis is required (muscular strain vs. disc problem vs. posture-related).
Sometimes, X-ray or MRI of the spine is needed if pain is persistent or radiating.
Medicines may need adjustment or a different combination (pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or supportive supplements).
ð¨ When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠If pain shoots down the legs (sciatica-like pain).
⢠If there is numbness, tingling, or weakness in legs.
⢠If you develop urinary or bowel control problems.
âï¸ Every case of back pain is unique â getting your spine and posture evaluated is important before deciding the next step.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive:
âï¸ A detailed review of your medicines and physiotherapy
âï¸ Guidance on whether MRI/X-ray is needed
âï¸ A personalized long-term plan for back care and pain relief
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
General Physician
