[|Human|] I have had lower right back pain for about a month. I went to urgent care almost 3 weeks ago and was told it was probably multiple pinched nerves which are causing muscle spasms. Was told the pain should only last 7-10 days. At the point of being seeing I was on day 8 of pain. The pain isn t bad in the morning but as the day goes on, it gets worse and then I get shooting pains. I work on my feet all day long and it helps if I sit when it starts hurting and put heat on it. The skin discoloration doesn t itch or anything like that, it just seems weird that it s all blotchy where the pain is. Any idea what I could ask about when I go to the dr tomorrow?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for your query. It seems you are suffering from degenerative disc disease & it occurs due to repetitive overload or stress to the disc & it increases the risk of disc herniation & spinal canal stenosis. The main treatment of such pain is bed rest along with painkillers and muscle relaxants. Muscle relaxants can help with your symptoms if used in appropriate dosage in combination with a potent analgesic. You can get the appropriate Chat Doctor. Meanwhile, you can follow these measures:- If the pain is severe, you need bed rest till the pain resolves. - Get some analgesics prescribed and apply analgesic spray or ointments.- While resting, keep a pillow under your knees if it doesn't bother you.- Avoid lifting heavy objects.- Back strengthening exercises and stretching exercises daily as advised by a Physiotherapist.- Avoid exercises in times of pain. - Improvise your posture while sitting.- Using an LS contour belt of appropriate size might be helpful in providing support to back muscles. Also, maintain a proper posture while working, sitting and standing. Keep your back straight. Physiotherapy plays a major role in treating such conditions. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
