[|Human|] I fell on my butt at work a month ago and I ve noticed that my lower back hurts when I lay for too long, or standing for a while. It s not a sharp sharp pain but it s really uncomfortable it hurts, I don t know what to do to relieve it I can t swallow pills for pain.
[|AI|]  HiT hank you for asking ChatDoctorI have gone through your query. Your problem can be a muscle strain or intervertebral disc injury or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. A thorough physical examination by an orthopedic will give clue for that and an X-ray followed by MRI might be needed to confirm it. For such cases I advise a short course of NSAIDs like Diclofenac Muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotrophic Chat Doctor. I also recommend physiotherapy along with this. Usually it will take at least 1 month to recover. For some it may prolong till 6 months. If no improvement with conservative therapy surgical treatment can be considered. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
