Suggest Ways To Alleviate Lower Back Pain

Hi, i have been experiencing lower back pain by the tail bone on the right side for a couple years now but it has been getting worse. I cant exactly locate the pain i just know the area in which it is. It seems to hurt/swell when im on my feet all day or doing physical activity. Sometimes the pain is so bad that my legs shake and i cant move. I have tried ice, heating pads, muscle relaxers, hot tub, stretching, freeze it. But nothing seems to help.

Hi
thank you for trusting us
I read your query and understand your concern
I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering
In my opinion you are suffering from lumbar discopathy, it provoke pain but you shouldn't worry too much as it isn't dangerous
It can be confirmed by scheduling a lumbar CT scan
Meantime you should wear a lumbar fortress and continue pain killers
Hope I have been of help
Wish you good health
Regards
