Suggest Remedy For Lower Back Pain

Hi, I'm a 26 year old male and I am experiencing lower back pain only on my lest side. It started three weeks ago, out of nowhere, and has been off and on. On a scale of ten I would rate the pain as a 7. It is manageable, but it hurts when I try to touch my toes. I think I should go to the doctor, but I don't know if I should see a specialist or what. What do you think?

Thanks for contacting HCM
I am sorry to hear that you have left sided back pain fro the past 3 weeks. It is substantial pain and this is a very common problem. I see this problem frequently and I usually start treatment with medication including Naprosyn and muscle relaxants. I also recommend seeing a massage or physical therapist to help reduce the muscle spasms.

Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your concerns.
