How can pain in the lower back and legs be treated?
Patient: Denzel, a 46-year-old man, is working with his physical therapist on a set of back exercises. Around four weeks ago, Denzel was helping a friend move and attempted to lift a heavy box. Since that incident, he has had severe pain in his lower back that extends into his lower leg. His health care provider prescribed physical therapy three times per week to treat the condition. Doctor: Hello,You have got acute back sprain with radicular pain to.lower limb. This has happened due to lifting the weight with a jerk to back. You need to take rest and stop lifting weight for a week.
