Suggest treatment for sharp pain in the back
Patient: I get sharp pains in my lower back, usually on the left side. Starts when I go from sitting to standing. I have my husband press hard on the point where the pain is and if he presses hard enough the pain will stop as if it has moved. This happens often and has been going on several months to a year. I always bear the pressure on the point until the pain stops or moves from the pressure. My posture is declining. Doctor: HiA careful evaluation by orthopedist is required with X-rays andMRI .Acute sharp pain may be from some nerve impingement in a particular position of spinal or paravertebral small joints.Try hot packs and anti inflammatory gels local application
