Severe lower back pain help?!

Question: Severe lower back pain help?

I have been sleeping on the floor and couch at my girlfriend's house for the past 3 or 4 months now and I have recently been having the worst lower back pains. I can't run or walk at a normal pace, as now I walk like an old man, I am 23. I have to walk very slow as each step I take puts pain and pressure on each side of my tail bone it seems. Can anyone tell me some exercise tips to relieving my lower back? I carry around a heavy backpack for college nearly everyday.

Answers:

Stop sleeping on the floor! That should do the trick :)

I have also recommended using a pain cream called MYO-MED to a number of people. I have mostly used it for sore muscles from working out, but they say it works great for back pain. Check out their site for more info: http://www.myomedworks.com/

Hi,

I am a physical therapist. Lower back pain can have a number of differenct causes. Pain aggravated with standing and walking is generally associated with facet joints or stenosis. Pain aggravated with sitting or bending is generally associated with a disc. Muscle spasms can occur with all types of back problems. If you have having back pain try applying ice, (no heat), avoid aggravating activities/postures, and see an orthopedic doctor that focuses on the spine.

For more specific information about the various causes as well as treatments/stretches visit the link below.

Good luck.
