Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, A couple of nights ago i went to sleep just fine when I woke up my sides middle back and overall midsection was hurting. I thought maybe I slept wrong or something but it hasn t eased up. It s tender to touch and hurts when I twist or turn or even lean back.
You haven't mentioned if the pain radiates to leg or elsewhere.
So it could be vertebral arthritis or intervertebral disc syndrome. But not prolapse. Avoid bending, sleep supine, do not lift weight. May take anti inflammatory/ analgesic tablet 1 sos for 2-3 days, after meals. But don't make it habit.
Ayurveda's excellent study on turmeric powder suggests that you additionally take 1/2 tsp in warm milk or water twice a day. This may be contd. It's natural anti inflammatory analgesic. Healer also.
If still problem, get x Ray of lumbo sacral spine AP and Lateral view and lab tests done for uric acid, RA, ESR and report back.
Hope it helps you.
