Lower back sprain
My lower back has been aching since last 15 days. The sprain/spasm happened on 17th May and for the next two days i couldn't wake up/walk, sit, move a lot . Before that i was suffering from lower back pain and had thought it's probably because of the strenuous activities done in the last few days.
I took pain killers for 5 days- Ultracet.
Currently I'm still experiencing pain in the same location and it increases a lot if i do any physical work/activity. The location of pain is around 1-2 inches from the spinal cord towards the left.
