Suggest Remedy For Pain In Lower Back

For the last few days my lower back, on both sides has been aching. It seems to be in the kidney areas. Is it common for both kidneys to ache at the same time? No other symptoms. I have increased my water consumption and my urine is clear now. The aching has eased up a bit but still noticable, especially when getting out of bed, or off the floor from sitting. I am female and 56 years old. 155 lbs.I have been doing some lifting lately...

Hi, Thanks for your query.
After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. You need to done MRI to rule out other causes.
Back exercises, neurotropics such as mecobalamine and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief.
Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required.
Avoid long continuous standing.
Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
