Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain
Saturday morning i woke up with discomfort on my lower back i couldnt walk without feeling pain and the more i walked it hurt more I took pain medicine and did not help much also took muscle relaxant but did not help , what did help was heat and an ice pack afterwards, but my concern is that as the pain was decreasing the pain moved to the left now it hurts just by touching the area, pain feels like someone hit me with a bat and feel like its a bruise!

Hi
thank you for trusting HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
In my opinion it seems your pain is provoked by discal herniation
Nothing to be worried too much
Pain killer and muscle relaxant must be continued for some days to avoid pain
You should wear a lumbar fortress
Schedule lumbar CT scan which will show the severity of herniation
Wish you all the best
Hope I have been of help
Stay healthy
Regards
