What Causes Persistent Back Pain On The Left Side?

Hello, I ve had problems with my backpack r years but doctors can t seem to figure out what it is. It s shooting pain mainly in my left side of the back and makes me collapse on a rare occasion. Also, when I bend over to a certain angle, I struggle to get back up and it hurts. Daily chores are a struggle but I ve had an X-ray and nothing was found. When I was a young teenager, I do remember a speaker from a stereo falling on my back. I think it is from that, but like I said, doctors won t help much :(

when investigations are normal,but you have pain, in allopathy only pain killers are there to suggest.but you have to do regular exercise under physiotherapist guidance which will improve your condition.falling of sterio years back is not related to your present back pain in my view.but you life style ,nature of job, your diet habits,and your weight will add up to your back pain.It is better you consult a qualified physiotherapist who based on physical examination can decide what sort of exercises will benefit you.you better apply local ointment like volini gel or gaultheria oil for pain than taking pain killer tablets.if you are over weight try to reduce your weight through diet and exercise.
