[|Human|] Hi, I am having back pain (both sides of the lower spine) for the last few months. I had visited a doctor today and he asked me to lift one leg and both legs while lying on my back and asked me if I had pain. I did not feel much pain. So he said no x ray is needed, it may be due to less strength of the lower back and suggested leg raises exercises every day along with Etova-P 400 (1 morning and 1 night). Is this tablet a pain killer? if so, I feel the pain for me is still bearable and I do not need a pain killer. Also, advise me on my condition. Thanks,Krishna
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor ! What your doctor has done is known as straight leg raising test. As the test is negative means your nerve roots are not getting pressed. So its most likely mechanical low backache. Etova-P is NSAID Chat Doctor.  So even though pain is tolerable, you should take course as suggested by doctor. But the most important thing for you is exercise daily. Consult physiotherapist for exercises and other modalities like SWD/IT. Exercise regularly. If you are overweight, reduce your weight. Stretch your body. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing. Learn proper work postures.
