What causes excruciating lower back pain?
Patient: I Have been having lower back pain on the right side. when I take a deep breath or cough it is very excruciating, The pain started today at around 10:30. It will not go away if I sit or lay down. Like three months ago my OBGYN doctor is testing me for endometriosis and PCOS. Doctor: HiWelcome to healhcaremagicAfter going through your query I came to know that you are probably  suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI scan. There are two treatment options.First option is rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend),neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeperazole before meals  prevent acidity caused by analgesics .Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy).You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
