Patient's question:
Lower back pain, unable to stand for too long, or sit for too long, doing either will cause lower back pain.Doctor's answer:
If you have symptoms of lower back pain, it is recommended to see a doctor for a thorough examination. X-rays or MRI of the lumbar spine may be performed. The possibility of sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation or bone spurs cannot be ruled out. Additionally, are you sleeping on a spring mattress? If so, it is advised that you sleep on a firm bed. Traction, physical therapy, infrared therapy, and massage can be used for treatment. It is essential to avoid maintaining a static posture for long periods while working or studying, especially prolonged bending. Take a break for about 10 minutes every hour. Also, be mindful of the possibility of lumbar muscle strain.
