I have been having this terrible back pain since Monday. It’s so bad that I can’t sit, stand or walk for long hours like before. My job entails me driving a car almost 7 hours a day you all know that. The other thing is that I feel too often to go for long calls and the muscles on my right hand and right leg feel fatigued and somehow stiff. I had an accident back in 2017 but my I came out unscathed. I gave the hekaya here.
I went to the doctor and suggested an x ray but he turned it down saying it’s not that serious. What could be the problem?
Hi bro, X-ray won’t help much unless your bones are broken…of course, that’s not the case otherwise with the pain of a broken bone, you wouldn’t even be able to sit and type this.
I’d recommend an MRI scan or CT scan (one of those, I am not sure). Most likely you have some tense lower back muscles or the piriformis muscle is weak/strained.
Another possibility is that one of your spinal cord disks is slightly out of place and it’s causing an irritation to the neighboring nerves or muscles.
SOLUTION
For a short-term solution, take a pain killer like Brufen. You can also buy some Deep Heat or any other muscle relaxant.
Long-term solution is therapy. Go to YouTube and search for “lower back pain therapies”. Complete them to correct the root cause of the problem.
If you can afford it, look for a professional physiotherapist or a doctor who is well-versed with these things.
NB: This isn’t medical advice as I am not a licensed doctor. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist.

And I agree with Beast hapo juu.
I will give you the recommendation i was given that worked very well
Tomba at least 4 times per week especially in the early mornings when you are fresh
The problem is sitting down for 7 hours. You sit longer than accountants or receptionists. You need to find a way to take breaks from that sitting position.
You might be having a compressed disc which is corrected by surgery (Decompression),
An MRI is used to rule out differential diagnosis like herniated disk, spine injury, talk to your doctor and give him your full history, the accident might have interfered with your spinal discs,
