lower back pain - no tingling feeling in legs or arms (I had sciatica many years ago) but extreme pain when trying to get out of bed - cannot straighten up - I have to hang on to back of chair and slowly straighten up. Once I am standing erect, I can take some steps and after a few minutes I walk more or less normally. I feel I may have a slight inflammation in the tissue around my spine in the middle of my back. I am an 84 year old female, who until last week was happily riding her bicycle. P.S. I am hopeless on any computer !!
Hi, It seems that you might be having osteoarthritis of vertebral spines giving rise to stiffness of muscles giving rise to this problem. It is possible that you might be having Sciatic pain as well. Go for x-ray and find out the cause. Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined. Physiotherapy might help to relieve muscle spasm. Ok and take care.
