What Causes Severe Pain In The Lower Back?
My husband is 60 years old and just traveled from US to Italy 3 days ago. He has diabetes but doesn’t take medication. He has extreme lower left back pain where he can’t bend over and has difficulty getting out of a chair. He hasn’t had any lifting injuries. What could this be?

Dear patient
your husband might be suffering from back sprain. Reason may be long time sitting while travelling which he may not be used to. He needs rest in hard bed. Start tab Dan MR twice a day with tab ultracet twice a day for pain relief. If not relieved after one week please consult expert orthopedic surgeon nearby you.

hello madam
I appreciate your concern for your husband
well to allay your anxiety the flight taken is a slightly longer and for sitting in a particular posture may result in muscle spasms causing lower back pain
but as you said he is diabetic not on medication may be he has some other problem
what he requires is a physical examination and further management should be based upon it
thanking you
feel free to ask more details
