What causes continuous pain and inflammation in the lower back?
Patient: Hi doctor, I am a 28 year old lady I been having a some pains with burning sensation on my lower back for 6 months now very uncomfortable, have been to so many doctors , when it first started doctors gave me antibiotics thinking is an infection and that didn t work later went for CT scan and ultra scan and all was normal now it seems all the doctors can t find what is exactly wrong with me and this worries me. Doctor: Hello,          I just read your query. If ct scan and other investigations are normal then it might be due to muscle strain which may be due to lifting heavy object again and again, twisting, excessive physical work which may lead to restlessness or due to sudden jerky movements.* Take complete rest for some days as it will help your body to overcome strain if any.* You can also use heat or ice packs as both these helps in reducing inflammation and relieves pain.* You can also try this natural remedy. Take 50 to 60 ml of coconut oil or sesame oil and fry 7 to 8 cloves of garlic in it and fry till the garlic turns brown. Apply this oil when lukewarm on affected area and do gentle massage for 5 to 10 minutes. It will help you in relieving pain.* Try all these things for 10 to 20 days and you will feel positive results.* In case of any emergency you can consult a nearby orthopedic physician.* I hope you find my answer helpful.Thank you.
