The right lower back side of my body has been swollen and in pain for several days now. I ice it down 2 or 3 times a day and before I go to bed I put icy hot cream on it. It still bothers me later on. I thought maybe it s a sprain or pulled muscle but idk . I know it s hurts when I bend over and it has been this way for 3 days already.
Hi, At the moment, the swelling along with lower back pain make me think of colonial abscess. However, a detailed examination by a physician will help to distinguish that pain from the one that happens after a pinched nerve or a sprained muscle. To help with the pain you can also use over-the-counter Tylenol provided there are no contraindications or allergy to it. You also will need to avoid bending forward excessively or carrying heavy weights.
