A member asked:
Experienced lower back numbness after being in an awkward position for an extended period of time, went away after lying down. the only issue is that i feel a little back pain and stiffness when standing for extended periods of time. cause of issue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typical causes of lower back stiffness and/or pain is muscle sprain/strain and nerve pressure. Good posture is really important to the back, and anytime a person spends significant time in an awkward or not healthy position, the back muscles can experience straining and stiffness and inflammation can press on nerves. Maintain good posture hygiene and do lower back stretches.
