What causes severe lower back pain after being treated for osteoporosis?
Patient: I am having a lower back pain. When I get up from my sleep in the morning my back is very stiff. I take 2 tablets panadiene but does not help. I also use a hot pack on my back but it only gives momentary relief. I am also under treatment for osteoporosis. Please advise. Doctor: Thank you for choosing HCMBased on your description, it is likely that osteoporosis can be causing the pain that you are having. I do hope that your Doctor has started you on Vitamin D and Calcium to help prevent the problems and symptoms as far as possible.There are a few more things that you can do to see if they help:Ice the back for 15 mins at a time Then warm the back with a hot pack for 5 minsRepeat this after 1 hourAlso, you can do stretches for the lower back and also massage the area.Follow up after 5 days. All the best. Another therapy is giving local injections to stop the pain but this is a last resort.Hope this helps you
