[|Human|] My lower back is swollen and hurting bad. Its been slowly getting worse over the past 4-5 weeks, Started with a knot of some kinda and now this. I never hurt it that Im aware. You can see the area on my back looking in a mirror and it seems like its purple looking. What could this be?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. In my opinion all you need to do is give you back a little rest. For immediate relief have some painkiller along with a muscle relaxant and have proper bed rest for 2 weeks. Do not lie down on soft mattress use hard one instead, do not sit for longer durations and do not travel long distance for 2 weeks. You can also apply some good anti-inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally. After 2 weeks start with some back strengthening exercise. It will help you build you back muscle, and you will be able to continue with your routine works in few weeks with no pain at all. But do not overlook at the symptoms right now. As it is still early days for you, and you can be fine and back in action with these small things. Good luck
