My husband has been complaining of lower back pain for quite a while now, now he has been complaining that he can t sleep at night because he feels very bloated, do I need to worry? He is a very busy person, work all day and when he gets out of work he has 4 soccer teams to practice.
Dear patient Too busy at work with stress, anxiety and inadequate rest is the most common cause for back pain nowadays. Ask him to change his schedule and make it more flexible with adequate time for rest and sleep. Sleep for 7 hours a day is must. Take tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for back pain. Also, X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views needed to rule out bony abnormalities.  All the best.
