Lower back pain
Hi Everyone
I have been suffering with lower back pain for some time, I went to see the practice nurse, she said it was muscular, and gave me appointment for a physio, I went to see him, he told me to excercise and gave me an excercise sheet to help lower back.
i do walk every day, today I bent down to pick something up, and the pain was unbearable, It was so painful , I am now lying with a heat pad , on my back and rubbed in volterol, also took pain killers.
Does anyone know if the back massage belts help, if so what would you recommend.
many thanks
junie

I've found out recently that my lower back pain radiates from the hips but much before the diagnosis, I thought it was muscular tightness. I like yoga for back pain from FitOn app, which is free and it helped me a lot. Restorative yoga exercises are good too. The psoas muscle runs from the lumbar spine through the groin. If its tight, sometimes causes lower back pain.

Hi All,
I’m Irene, a 67 year old ex teacher with one sided pain coming from my lower back. It affects my shoulder neck and arm and also stops me walking far. I also suffer from Migraine and am having problems with this at the moment as I’m having to take strong medication in order to keep it under control. Anybody else suffer from a one sided back arthritis?

Good Morning @Almawood
Welcome to the Versus Arthritis online community.
I see you are another person who has presumably lower back pain.
Chris R has already attached a link about back pain but I am going to attach one about managing pain per se it has got some useful suggestions in it:
It looks like you, @Ericchris @Junie and @Nurina might be able to support one another with this debilitating condition.
My very best wishes
Ellen.
