[|Human|] My back will occasionally get what I can only describe as feeling like an air bubble that is extremely painful. Originally they would last for a few seconds but then would go away. Now they are happening more frequently and last longer. What is going on?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for your query. Low backache looks like a positional anomaly. The low backache is a result of muscle spasm which in itself is a protective mechanism body develops so that the back avoids abnormal posture. For pain to go, it takes not only rest (on a comfortable bed) but also avoidance of particular positions (during work, rest or recreation). Avoid sleeping on sides and stomach in case you do. While on work don't sit in one position for more than an hour and take frequent stretch breaks. Do not bend forward to lift things up, bend the knees and hips for that. Also discontinue any strenuous activity or exercises for some time. Having said that, you might want to consult your orthopaedician for a detailed physical examination and appropriate investigations. It might help with few medications and physiotherapy for a few days. Physiotherapy particularly lumbar traction for a week and back strengthening exercises after pain relief work well. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
