Question : I am experiencing internal pain on the left side of my back around the waist every morning. At first I thought I might have strained my back, although it has persisted and I feel it the most every morning.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are likely to be having lumbar spondylosis as it is common in your age. Glucosamine is useful. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful in pain relief. Back excercises are useful. Second cause of pain can be vitamin D deficiency as it is common. So if you found vitamin D level low on testing you can take vitamin D3 supplements.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
