Question : I’m having really bad back pain . It burns . I don’t even feel like going to work or school
Brief Answer:
Can be muscle strain or spasm.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The pain of the lower side of your back can be due to-
1. Lumbar muscle strain- due to tear or pull of muscle fibers.
2. Infections like paraspinal abscess.
3. Lumbar disc herniation, sciatica, etc.
4. Arthritis or ankylosing spondylosis.
5. Weak core muscles-Strengthening the muscles that support the spine helps keep the spine in its proper position and reduce risk of sprains, strains and lower back pain.
6. Vitamin D3 deficiency.
Proper diagnosis involves investigations like ultrasound of the abdomen, X-ray and MRI of the spine after an examination by your primary physician.
The treatment will then depend on the cause.
Hot fomentation and oral muscle relaxants can provide a temporary relief till then. Feeling cold and a swollen lymph node suggests an infection in the area like throat infection. This needs a direct examination and proper antibiotics for treatment.
I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Tayal

How would I know if I have a throat infection? The lymph node has been swollen for a year now. Could I have a bone infection or something? I feel so sick with this back pain I can’t even do anything productive
Brief Answer:
Get FNAC of lymph node done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If the lymph node is present for one year then you need an FNAC to find out the exact cause. Infection is less likely in that case. The back pain needs proper investigations and medicines like oral muscle relaxants for relief.
Hope my answer is helpful. Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
