Suggest Treatment For Pain On Lower Left Back

I have pain on my lower left back when I sit or lay down. I play tennis several times a week but the pain is the worst when I go to bed and try to roll over or sit up, a very sharp pain. Am 62 so may just be years of jogging, aerobics classes, tennis and working out.

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 such as diclofenac give relief. Serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
