Does Persistent Back Pain Need Medical Attention?

Hi, I injured my back bad on Thursday from getting up abruptly and twisting wrong from a lower couch. On thursday when it happened I felt like I was going to faint almost getting hot and slightly sweaty. The pain is hard to distinguish where it’s coming from but it’s mostly around where I bend at the waist (lower lower back) and more painful toward the left side of my body. That day I couldn’t sit up straight in a chair without crying. Now it is Sunday and I’m still in lots of pain especially when I extend my an arm and lean over and go to lay down/sit up. Do you think it sounds serious to go see a doctor?

Hello,

Yes, I think a visit to the doctor is appropriate. You have not specified your age, but a pain persisting which is severe in intensity has to be properly investigated.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regard,
