[|Human|] My name is Arnold, I m 66 years old.... I can t go to bed because I can t lay down, my lower back hurts as soon as it its the mattress, I get excruciating pain before the spine curve flattens against the mattress,then I have problem turning and lifting up.... the same thing happens if I try to lay on my chest. This has been going on for at least 3 months. I laid a hardwood floor on 2d floor of a house, I fell to my face during the renovation but it did not affect me untill I completed the job. Then the low back pain began. Thanks for this opportunity Arnold
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for using Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should stop worrying. 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. When getting up from bed always take a lateral position first then hang your legs down and then get up. When working, maintain a good posture of your back. Do not strain your self or over exert. . U can also apply some good anti inflammatory painkiller gel on your back. If the pain increases do some hot fermentation locally and make a routine of doing some back strengthening exercise daily. Start will 10 mins twice a day to 20 mins twice a day and walk for 30-40 mins a day alt east. I am sure you will be fine in 2 weeks
