What Causes Persistent Pain In Lower Back Despite Taking Naproxen?
Hi, I m 32 yr old male, I m having lower back pain for the last few months, I was prescribed naproxen, it helps for a while but I feel like it s only masking the problem. When I wake up in the morning it s at it s worst, I feel it where the muscles near my kidneys are, It s progressively developed from lifting poorly (at work) and sleeping on different mattresses, from my house to my girlfriends house

Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case, I think do you have sciatica,that's a nerve compression in your lower back , I advice you anti-inflammatory 2/times a day,pain killers and a vitamins supplements ( complex B) some hot-water bottle in the lower back fallow to ice// hot cream or spray can help you to relieve the symptoms, take care about your posture and limited your physical activity. I hope that my advice has been helpful,regards
