What Could Cause On And Off Severe Spasms Like Lower Back Pain Elevated With Standing?

I started feeling a little lower back pain 2 weeks ago, just in the morning. Then the last 5 days, nothing. Then yesterday morning when I got up, severe lower back pain. Got better during the day. Then this morning it was even worse, had to crawl out of bed. A little better this afternoon, don t feel it hardly at all when sitting. I do feel it a lot when I stand. Then after a minute or 2, while standing, it gets slightly better, I do notice when standing, I am not completely standing straight not too noticeable,as if I do it hurts more When I do feel the pain it is kind of like spasms.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

There is possibility of disc compression or can be spinal muscle spasm.

Medication like methylcobalamin with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

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.

Take care.
