What Causes Severe Pain In Lower Back?

I went to see a doctor last week about a pain i ve been havin on my lower back it hurts when do certain things, they checked x rays and said everything was good, just that my muscle where my back hurts is tighter then the left and perscribed me meloxicam. I just want a medication if its actually going to help my back not just be a pain reliever. I wish the pain will go away quickly cause im still thinkin theres somethin even more worng with my lower back. I hurt it at work pullin palletsand it would come and go now it pretty much hurts everyday it hurts all the way to my right leg and sometimes vibrates, it also feels as if there somethin pressed against my back that part dont hurt both its annoying, and my lower back tickles inside sometimes.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain in your thigh.

I will advise you to do MRI spine as nerve compression in spine can lead to pain in lower back.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time you can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

These symptoms could be due to vascular occlusion around your hip and thigh.
Colour Doppler may help in diagnosis.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
