The lower half of my back hurts. what should be the cure ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prognosis: good: The good news: most simple low back resolves in 6 weeks. I typically advise heat, anti inflammatories like Ibuprofen (if not contraindicated), and back stretching exercises. Muscle relaxants can provide additional relief as well. See your doctor as they can decide on imaging like x-rays or MRI if you have symptoms of a slipped disc or do not improve as expected. Preventing re injury is key.
