Lower Back Pain that's getting worse!!
Hi,
i have a problem with my back and i think it is really getting worse. i don't really know how to begin with this but i'll just say that 5 years ago i slipped on the stairs while going down and it really hit my lower back so bad and it hurt for a few days or so and another incident 3 years ago but a little less severe than the first one, wherein i just fell on my back and i hit the cabinet so hard and still somewhere on my lower back...and now well, i've experienced these weird back pains and i think this just started like maybe last year but this year, it just aggravated even more and i don't want it to worsen...the pain is something like, it's really hard for me to explain, it's like a straining pain or something like something that's been used for so long and then it gets painful. the pain is somewhere in the middle to lower back and then i try to straighten my back to ease the pain but somehow it's still there and i'm also thinking that maybe it has something to do with my posture, i can't really say that i have a good posture because i think i don't but my parents keep telling me to stop the slouching coz i tend to do that all the time.....so well, the point is, whether i slouch or straighten my back, the pain is still there, it never goes away..
i can only feel it go away when i'm in a supine position and that's the only time that i feel reallly at ease in my back...
and i also noticed that prolonged standing or sitting without something to lean on really triggers the pain....i really don't know what this is, i'm hoping it's not something serious
and just to let you know bout the pain, it's not sharp, burning, or anything like that, but i don't know if it's a dull pain..but the best i can describe it is that it just feels mostly tired and strained concentrated on the lower back..maybe lumbar portion..
there...i would appreciate your insights about it.
