Can barely walk from lower back pain?

Question

Since yesterday, my lower back pain has worsened significantly. It's so intense that it's getting really difficult to stand or even walk properly. Can lower back pain really become this debilitating?

Amit Saxena · Accepted Answer

I was in this exact situation last year where I couldn't even stand up to go to the washroom and totally panicked thinking my spine was permanently damaged. It was just a very severe muscle spasm from lifting a heavy bucket. With hot fermentation and doctor-prescribed muscle relaxants, I was back on my feet in three days, so don't lose hope!

Please do not try any random exercises or hard massages that people suggest on the internet when you are in this much pain; you might make a disc injury much worse. Go to a qualified doctor or a proper physiotherapist. Only trust a professional medical diagnosis for severe back pain.

Haan yaar, back pain jab badhta hai toh chalna-firna bilkul mushkil ho jata hai na. Isko bilkul halkey mein mat lo, bed rest karo aur jaldi se kisi ache doctor ko dikhao. Thoda sikai kar lo abhi ke liye par doctor ki advice sabse zaroori hai.

I totally get it, lower back pain is absolutely debilitating and makes you feel so helpless. It is exhausting when even shifting in bed hurts so much. Please take complete bed rest, don't lift anything at all, and please have someone help you visit a doctor as soon as possible.

If the pain is so bad that you can't even walk, stop searching for home remedies online. You need to see an orthopedician immediately to check for a slipped disc or nerve compression. Don't drag it out, get a professional consult today and get an MRI if they suggest it.

Oh no, that sounds incredibly painful! 😢 Please lie down on a flat surface and don't try to force yourself to walk or bend today. Keep a hot water bag under your back and let your family pamper you a bit. Hope you feel better very soon! 🌸
