Lower Back Is Sore And Painful. Had Cracking Sound When Laid On Back. Told To Have Misaligned Bck
Hi, my lower back usually is sore. I'm only 17 and already have back pains. But today, I've been having lower pains by my spin, but of to the right a little, near my butt. Usually when I have back pains, I lay on a hard flat surface and it feels like my back shifts into place, but this time when I did it, it cracked about 7 times, then I felt a major pain so I rolled over to my stomach, cried for a few seconds, and stood up. I thought the pain was gone, til I started walking around again? I already been told my back was mis aligned. but I have no clue what this is.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
From description it seems you might be suffering Mechanical back pain.
It is a common medical problem.Mechanical back pain implies the source of pain is in the spine and/or its supporting structure. The surrounding muscles and ligaments may develop reactive spasm and pain.
1. Lie on hard bed
2. Taking muscle relaxants in combination with mild pain killers will help you.
3. Hot water fomentation to back 2-3 times a day and applying a local analgesic gel on the affected area will also help in providing a relief.
4. Physiotherapy - Interferential therapy (IFT) to your back will help you relieve the pain
5. Avoid driving, leaning forward, sitting for prolonged time or lifting heavy weights. These activities can increase your back pain.
You can start with swimming and mild aerobic exercises. These do help a lot in the back pain. Do adequate warming up before starting the exercises daily.
Taking calcium and vitamin D 3 supplements will also help in early recovery. You can get these prescribed from your orthopedician.
Hope this will helps you. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
Dr Saurabh Gupta
