Question 1

can you tell me how to cure my lower back pain and lordosis?

Accepted Answer

Need a diagnosis : Lower back pain with loss (reversal; flattening) of the normal anatomic lordotic curvature of the lumbar spine is commonly do to muscular spasm, which may be from a sprain or a deeper cause. Loss of lordosis may be do to other related conditions & may or may not be related to the back pain. See a spine doc to get the proper diagnosis & treatment as life is too short to live in pain.

Question 2

how can you get rid of lower back pain from lordosis?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated: Lordosis is just a label applied to the inward curve of the spine in the lower back. A certain amount is normal &amp; by itself is not a disease or defect. If yours is excessive any treatment would depend on finding out why. Your regular doc can start the process &amp; may do tests or send you to a physical therapist.

Question 3

i have lordosis and i suffer from lower back pain every night. i also gained weight few years ago.

Accepted Answer

See PM MD ASAP: Low back pain only at night is a red flag.  This could mean something serious is going on. Please see your family md or pain management md asap and get a lumbar x-ray.  Assuming nothing more serious, this is likely mechanical low back pain (from loading hte low back all day), and a pain management physician could make a specific diagnosis in many cases after the approriate workup.

Question 4

i have sudden severe lower back pain, difficulty walking, any movement at all including breathing makes it worse. history of lumbar lordosis. help!!!

Accepted Answer

U might be having an: acute LBP due to a disk herniation. Any pain going down the leg or any numbness in your leg/foot/toes??
Any urinary or bowel problems, like loss of control?
If any of the above symptoms are present, then you probably need to be seen in ER, specially if urinary/bowels symptoms are present, as you may require to be seen by a Spinal surgeon.
Otherwise, resting and taking NSAiDs would help &amp; See PCP.

Question 5

i have had excruciating lower back pain for around 7 years. i had an mri which showed mild scoliosis and moderate facet joint hypertrophy. i was dismissed nothing wrong. i have just had a second mri. says reduction of lumbar lordosis. any advice?

Accepted Answer

: A conservative idea is, do you have a limb length difference or pelvic rotation or both. This can cause the worsening of scoliosis or help cause it.

Question 6

im 32, two kids 7 and 2years. ive been experiencing lower back pain starting from last trimester of my pregnancy in 2015. xrays said "there is loss of the lumbar lordosis in keeping with muscle spasm" is this danger,what does it mean en what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Spinal curve: The lower spine has a lumbar curve inward naturally which is more pronounced by pregnancy. Apparently, in your case this has been "reduced" which occurs when patients have back spasms. A visit to a Orthopedic MD who is knowledgeable would be helpful in assessing your back spasm symptoms.

Question 7

24 yro male, history of microdiscectomy x2 about 1 year ago. if disc(s) are fixed, why is lower back pain (non radiating) still present?

Accepted Answer

Most likely case is : That the disc surgery fixed the pinching of the nerve causing the leg pain but the disc itself is no longer functioning well to bear and distribute the normal loads subjected to it in every day life leading to your back pain.  You may need further exercise to develop better core strength &amp; use OTC meds as needed or even a simple back support.  Rarely, a fusion may be indicated if no improvement.

Question 8

hi. yesterday i got lower back pain. today its even worse. i am sure its kidneys because the pain is across my lower back. its pain full, i have has nurafen but pain wont go away. what should i do. ?

Accepted Answer

Back pain: is unfortunately a very common type of pain.  Please do not self-diagnose about your kidneys.  Please do see your doc for a professional diagnosis.  He/she will provide treatment.  In addition, search the work of John Sanford, MD, on the net for a mind-body approach to dealing w/back pain.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

lower back pain on right side that goes down my right light. its been going on for 5 weeks. its worse when im sitting down a certain way, so i try to get up and walk around or massage the area but it doesnt seem to help that much. what is this?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If you are overweight, losing weight is imperative. Regular aerobic exercise would help by improving muscle strength and flexibility. If these measures do not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 10

what's the best exercise(s) for lower back pain?

Accepted Answer

"Superman" exercises: Back injuries should always be checked by your doctor, especially if chronic or if one experiences symptoms down the legs. The superman exercise is ideal for strengthening the back muscles. Lie on your stomach, arms outstretched in front; lift the rt. Arm/shoulder and left leg/hip off the floor for 5 seconds, then repeat on the opposite side, do 12 sets, twice a day. See my back pain healthguide.
