[|Human|] Hello, one of my close friend is suffering from a severe pain felt at the lower back at the hip level and when it gets severe it radiates towards lower portion of the abdomen. she is been having this pain after she went to a yoga class where forward stretches was more focused upon on that particular day. since then, she gets these pain often. She still practices yoga and surprisingly complete forward bend from standing position as well as the lateral bends from standing position is when her pain aggravates. I noticed that when these muscles are stretched she goes into pain where as back bends, twisting postures etc dont have any effects on the pain scale. this means, when the area is contracted pain seems not to be felt. when she consulted an orthopedic doctor, he diagnosed her spine and hip bone to be perfect but asked her to continue with yoga within her limit for movement. A family physician, said it might be due to gas trouble. Can you suggest what could possibly be wrong with my friend ? oh btw, she is around 50 yrs, have BP - 140/86 mmHg and obese.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for posting your query. It seems that she is suffering from what we call the industrial backache. The first step is to ensure that you maintain an appropriate posture while working on the computer. Take frequent stretch breaks and Chat Doctor.  Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight. Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down. Eat a healthy wholesome meal which should satisfy your minerals and proteins requirement. The most essential and long-lasting remedy is exercises. There are certain back strengthening and neck isometric exercises that you must learn from a physiotherapist and perform them at home or work whenever possible. You can also undergo a weeks' session of traction at your physiotherapists' clinic. Last but not least, if its unbearable take medications or muscle relaxant prescribed by your physician. And if it has been long-standing illness visit your orthopaedician and clinically-radiologically establish a diagnosis to commence definitive treatment. Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care. Regards
