Sunday my head, neck and back ached badly. I went to bed at 5pm and did not get out of bed till 9am Monday. I spent all day Monday in my reclinder with a heating pad and slept 90% of the day. I woke up today, Tuesday, to take a shower and goto work, but back hurts badly and i felt weak. I dont know whats wrong.
Postural back pain is the most common cause of back pain. Analgesic(diclofenac etc., ) and other supportive medications should be taken for a certain period. Hot fomentation and local diclofenac jelly are good measures for pain relief. Then, exercise, lifestyle modification etc. should be started. And if the condition is not improving and impairing your activities of daily living then you have options like epidural injection and ultimately surgery. You need an MRI of LS spine to have the diagnosis pinpointed.
