Hi, my name s Michelle, I m 22 years old, height 5 4 weight 185lbs. I have sudden lower back pain after a 2.5hr trip that I made in the middle of May this year. The pain keeps coming back. I cant bend over to put my shoes on without a stabbing pain, even standing and sitting is an achy pain. The only thing that helps is when I lay on my back with my knees up. I dont know what it is or if I should see my PCP or a specialist. please help.
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. AFTER GOING THROUGH YOUR QUERY I think you may be suffering from prolapsed intervertebral disc. It can be confirmed by MRI OF LUMBAR SPINE. Primary treatment of condition is rest in position of comfort and analgesics(diclofenac 50 mg three times a day). You can consult orthopedic surgeon for it
