What Causes Pain In Back While Inclining Backward Or Forward?

my lower back hurts pretty badly if i incline slightly forward or back since earlier today. i put no strain on my back other than pick up a box but i've done so many times before. Sharp pain occurs instantly if i incline too quick and I don't know what might be wrong since i haven't done anything straining to my back

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

In most of the cases such pain is due to muscular spasm. I would suggest you following things:
> Take rest for 2-3 days.
> Avoid lifting heavy weight
> Take naproxen twice a day for 3 days
> Take mustard oil and ask some family member to massage your back with it.
> Take hot water in a rubber bottle and put it on your back. It will give soothing effect.

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
