Hello,

Commonly, these back pains are caused by muscular strains, ligament sprains and joint dysfunction. I suggest to do an X-ray of the back to exclude a joint dysfunction. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using warm compresses for local application. If the symptoms continue,I suggest to consult a rheumatologist.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
