What Causes Lower Back Pain With Radiating Spasms In The Upper Back?

Hello, I spend 4 days in the hospital for an unrelated issues, on the 4th night I woke up with bad back pain and spasm s from my neck to lower back. A few weeks before I woke up with what felt like a knot in the middle of my back. I had tow massages and the first day was told my back muscles where very tight, the next day they where lose and he worked on my neck and shoulders, a week on now and I still have lower back pain with what seem like shaking in my lower back muscles and going to my upper back legs, not sure whats going on. I am taking muscle relaxers with and anti imflammatory times a day and it seems to be making it go away slowly. any idea whats going on? Thank you Tom

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to muscle sprain.

For that you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help.

In case of not getting relief you may require MRI back with nerve conduction studies after consultation.

Along with that do regular physical therapy. Avoid forward bending and squatting position.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
