What causes recurrent lower back pain?
Patient: Hi I have had this lower back pain for a while now. I went to a back surgeon about year ago and he said I wish I had your back thus he saw no problems. However I did go through physical therapy and excersies and pain went away. But it is back. I thought it might be a sidiac nerve but I only have back pain no leg pain. Doctor: dear patient  you have not mentioned your age. reasons for back pain a vary depending on age of patient. if you are young age and having pain for a year only in back most probable reason is mechanical which means lower back instability  or muscle weakness. is tour pain relieved after rest? if yes then It suggests mechanical problem.  please wear lumbo sacral belt for 4 weeks and take tablet zerodol SP twice a day for 7 days. I would also advise back muscle strengthen exercises.
