What does severe pain in the lower back indicate?
Patient: I recently woke up and could hardly move, I was in so much lower right back pain.  I have memory problems, am 76 and a widow living alone.  What did I do to myself?  I just woke up (it is 1am) and am having pain again and have to move very slowly - bending over is a killer!  I am going to take some vitamin C, and oxycodone, if I can find any around the house.  I am 76, a widow and live alone!  Should I go to an emergency room for analysis/diagnosis? Doctor: Dear madamHello You have deficency of calcium .you need some back exercise, hot fomentation.you should take milk,milk product.It will help you in backach.
