[|Human|] Hi I have been having lower back pain on my left side. Hard to get up and down and have to help my leg into the car. I have been using ice and heat and Advil. Doing some soft yoga stretches also. Been home resting it for 4 days. Not alot better. Is is a muscle pull or what?
[|AI|]  Hi, I understand your concern regarding the pain. Since you have mentioned that you have low back pain we need to consider few things before coming to diagnosis and treatment. If you are a female:1) Make sure you have regular periods, no white discharges and any other women related problems.2) It could be a colic pain, kindly confirm if your pain is radiating towards your loin or else the pain could be due to our lifestyle habits like usage of computers, watching a lot of TV, bending while reading, heavy body weight sedentary lifestyle etc. Suggestions:1) Take an analgesic after prescription to just relieve from pain.2) Do not take analgesics excessively. They cause more trouble.3) You need to keep an erect straight posture of your back and neck.4) Do stretching exercises, when you wake up lie on your chest then using two hand lift yourself up, in an arc like position and then lie down slowly. Repeat his at least ten times daily. This will surely relieve back pain. You can watch online videos for such exercises.5) If your problem aggravates you need to get yourself physically examined and investigated through radiological methods like X-ray and MRI.6) An USG abdomen is also recommended in cases for a female, to rule out gynecological problems. Hope these suggestions help you. Contact for further follow up. With best regards,
