Lower back pain causing lot of discomfort. what can i do to alleviate it?

Low back pain: If you are exercising regularly and have ideal body weight, change in lifestyle might help. Avoid prolonged sitting, stretch properly, use knees and hips rather than back when picking up things. If that does not help, use heat, tylenol (acetaminophen) or motrin. Finally see a pain physician for evaluation. Clear all these recommendations with your pcp.

Back pain: The back pain can be caused by muscle strain, spinal stenosis, ruptured disc, nerve impingement ... You might benefit from heat pads, exercise, massage. If your pain is not improved, you should seek help from a pain management doctor. You might benefit from a comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
