Lower back pain for 2 months
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi, in the past two months I’ve been coping with a moderate/dull lower back pain. Sometimes I feel a twinge that starts from my right lower back dimple and goes through my buttock (especially when I lift something heavy). But the dull pain never goes away unless I lay down to sleep (it doesn’t bother me while sleeping). It’s worse when I sit down on the chiar or stand up for more than 5 minutes.
I must admit that I do suffer from hypochondria or health anxiety and now I am scared that it’s something bad. I think this makes my pain worse and chronic.
What do you think of this? Have you ever coped with this problem? Could it be a sign of anxiety?
Thanks,
D

Oh sweetie have I ever. I've suffered with lower back pain for 13 years and the pain is so great that I have to take narcotics to help me cope with the pain.
What you need to do to keep your pain from getting worse is to see a physical therapist. The therapist will give you exercises and stretches to strengthen your core muscles so that your back doesn't do all the work. I would also recommend you stop picking up heavy things. Although some people have put their backs out by bending over and picking up a piece of paper. But I think you stand a much better chance of hurting yourself more permanently by lifting heavy objects.

I've never heard of body attack. What is it?
