Lower back Pain

[little966]

Im having pain in my lower back for 3 months now. When I try and get up it seems that something is getting stuck and it takes time for me to come to normal standing postion as a result.Even Im not able to bent my back backwards.Morning when I get up there is so much tension in that area. I really dont know what and where is the exact problem maybe close to L5-S1.Pls suggest is it severe ,any cure,exercise for this problem.

Hi Little,

Welcome to the Pain Management Community. I am sorry to hear about your back pain. We know how disruptive pain can be in our lives.

If I suggested some exercises and they were the wrong ones they could do more damage than good for our specific condition. Usually minimal stretching is ok for any condition but I would check with your PCP to make sure that it was ok.

Has your back pain been diagnosed? If not you should make an appointment with your PCP to begin the evaluation process. There may be treatment for your pain/condition bu only a physician can make that determination.

I am hoping that you will let us know how you are doing. We are here to support you and will look forward to your updates. Peace, Tuck

Hello little and welcome to the Pain Forum.

I am not a Doctor and there is no professional advise in this forum but I think it is time to have a Doctor evaluate your back. I think it is in your best interest to have some imaging done like an X-Ray, MRI or even a CT Scan. The best Doctor to do this would be an Orthopedist. They can determine if there is a problem. Other than that, I really don't have much else to offer you in the way of advise. Please take care.
