For the last 5 days I ve had Stabbing pain in my lower back on the left side, basically my hip area in the back. I can t sit straight it hurts worst then labor pain. The only relief is laying in bed. I m wondering if I should see my MD Monday or go to an ER or Immediate care center. Please help me.
Hello I share your concern Looking at your history this could be acute lumbago PIVD (disc problem) or muscle pull In my opinion you should take anti inflammatory drug like ibuprofen with muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone or tizanidine
Use hard bed to sleep Stretching exercise may help you Avoid sudden bending forward or lifting heavy weight Of it persists or get worsens than you should go for an MRI LS spine for a confirmatory diagnosis.
I hope you will find my response relevant to your question Please feel free to ask for more clarification I will gladly answer you wish you good health take care
