I have had lower back pain since this morning. What immediate measures can I take?

Asked by Female, 31 ยท 2 months ago

Rest in a comfortable position and apply a warm compress or heating pad to your lower back. You may take over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen if needed. Avoid lifting heavy objects or sudden movements, and try gentle stretching or short walks. Seek medical attention promptly if the pain persists or worsens.

I'm sorry to hear about your lower back pain. Here are some immediate measures you can take to help relieve the discomfort:

  • Rest: Avoid strenuous activities and try to rest in a comfortable position, preferably lying down with a pillow under your knees to reduce strain on your back.
  • Cold or Warm Compress: Apply a cold pack or ice wrapped in a cloth to the painful area for 15-20 minutes several times a day during the first 48 hours. After that, you may switch to a warm compress to relax muscles.
  • Over-the-Counter Pain Relief: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Etoshine MR Tablet, which contains Etoricoxib (an NSAID) and Thiocolchicoside (a muscle relaxant), can help reduce pain and muscle spasms. However, this should only be taken if prescribed by a doctor.
  • Avoid Heavy Lifting or Twisting: These movements can worsen the pain.
  • Gentle Movement: After initial rest, gentle stretching or walking can help prevent stiffness.

If the pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms like numbness, weakness, or bladder/bowel issues, please consult an orthopedic specialist promptly.

For personalized advice and safe medication use, seeing a doctor is important. If you experience severe pain or any emergency symptoms, contact emergency services immediately.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you've had lower back pain since this morning.
