A member asked:
I have a lower back strain that's been there for 4 years. i have grown to ignore it but should i do anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have a checkup with: Your pcp and probably with an orthopod, 4 yrs is a long time for a strain to be still causing problems. It'll be good to have a diagnosis to ensure there is nothing else going on.
