[|Human|] Hi my father drinks spirits every night and has done since i can remember. He know he has a problem. He has been getting really bad pains in the right lower back for a while now, to the point me cant bend,stand etc with out being in agony. Is there something seriously wrong?
[|AI|]  Dear caring son Only direct association between Chat Doctor.  So all other causes of back pain may affect Your father. Causes may be 1. Muscle spasm 2. Degenerative disc disease 3. Instability.  You need to be investigated with X-ray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. Also, MRI of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine is advised to rule out disc and nerve problems. Start tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for pain relief.  If report is abnormal need to consult expert orthopedic surgeon.
