Can anyone guess what this could be? My lower back hurts when bending over, walking, and it radiates down to my legs with sharp, shooting pains. Yesterday and the day before, it was just a slight, gentle pulling sensation. This morning everything was fine, but when I got to work—I got out of the car and almost collapsed from the sudden pain. The pain isn't severe, but it's noticeable. Kidneys are ruled out, as I've been checked before. Gynecologically, everything's fine too, since we're planning a pregnancy and I just got tested recently—everything was great. It's too early for pregnancy-related pain; I haven't even missed my period yet, still waiting... Otherwise, I feel excellent. I don't understand any of this. And which doctor should I see if it doesn't go away...
Manifestations of osteochondrosis. Sciatica, lumbago, shooting pain—in short, a neurologist will determine it; a neurologist specifically deals with the manifestations of osteochondrosis. Keep your back warm, apply pain-relieving ointments.

Maybe it's a pinched nerve root. Go see a doctor.

This has never happened before :( And the pain isn't like in the spine, but more like in the muscles. That's strange too, I actually skipped two gym workouts this week. I really don't understand anything at all. Of course, if it doesn't go away, I'll go. But it seems like it's gotten a bit better by the evening.

I got hit by sciatica too, bent over double, it was so painful, straightened up with difficulty, and then when leaning forward or to the side, it even shot pains in my back. With sciatica, it's also really unpleasant to put on socks or shoes, you immediately feel it in your back. I endured it for three days, then gave myself a Voltaren injection. I'm planning to get an MRI and see a neurologist; this ***** won't just go away on its own, it needs to be thoroughly suppressed.
If you skip workouts, your muscle corset deflates, lymph drainage worsens, nerve roots get compressed... you shouldn't quit abruptly unless it's due to an illness (like pneumonia, myocarditis) where the treatment is similar to managing exercise withdrawal syndrome.
Any test result is only relevant at the time of the examination. If a fracture won’t heal in an hour, an aneurysm won’t disappear in a minute, then everything else is highly variable. Sometimes a cut or abrasion while handling meat or fish products can lead to issues spreading even to the lumbar region, and so on.

Get an MRI, and then with the results, if something is not right, go to a neurologist.

It depends on your gender. If you're a woman, you should also consider your menstrual cycle. It could be related to the intestines, spine, muscles, etc. My back only hurts after workouts, but even then I take a Nurofen capsule, so the pain goes away quickly. However, the key is to know the exact cause of the pain to avoid letting a serious issue go untreated.

Chondrocream is great for relieving lower back and joint pain. My lower back had seized up, so I asked at the pharmacy which ointment was effective, and they recommended Chondrocream. Now it's always on standby in my medicine cabinet.

If your back hurts, go to the doctor or call an ambulance—that's the smart thing to do. But if you really don't want to see a doctor... what saves me from joint pain is Hondrocream. It really works!

I sometimes get lower back pain, probably due to my sedentary work routine and not moving around enough (I should sign up for swimming or fitness classes). That's why the pain started occurring. I apply Viprosal ointment, and it helps quickly—the pain goes away.

I was also thinking about the pool, after all, my joints and muscles need a warm-up. My lower back often hurts, at least my job isn’t sedentary. But at home, I sit down to watch a movie and that’s it—afterwards, I can barely get up. Capsicum really helps me when my joints hurt; the pain goes away quickly. I don’t know what I’d do without it.

I had a situation where my back started hurting, something really seized up in my lower back, to the point it was hard to straighten up. I complained to the doctor about it, and he prescribed me Neurodiclovit. It contains diclofenac (but not too much, so it doesn't upset the stomach), and that really helped with the pain. After that, I took Neuromultivit for another month—it's a vitamin supplement that's good for back pain. That treatment plan really worked well; nothing hurts now.

I also took Neurodiclovit, Marina wrote about it here, it's an NSAID, it really helped me a lot. This medication is indeed not harmful to the stomach, I experienced that myself. And it has B vitamins in it, which is also good. Then I took Neuromultivit, which contains the same vitamins in higher concentration, to help consolidate the treatment effect.

Of course, why suffer! They described a good treatment plan above—read it. When my lower back hurt, I also took Neurodiclovit, and after that Neuromultivit. The treatment helped me perfectly, the lower back pain stopped. Before, after an eight-hour workday, I'd just crawl away from the desk, couldn't straighten my back, but now that's gone.

Day 4 of severe lower back pain, nothing helps—not injections (diclofenac, ketorol), gels (ketoprofen, diclofenac), painkillers (analgin, ketorol, nimesulide), or massage. Kidneys are fine. It's a holiday now, can't see a neurologist, and the on-call neurologist at Pirogovka refused to help, saying it's not an emergency and to go to the clinic. But I'm getting worse and worse—it only doesn't hurt when lying down, and even then I can't move. Probably going to be paralyzed soon...
When I had back pain, Neurodiclovit helped me a lot. It contains B vitamins and diclofenac, and this combination really helps relieve pain and inflammation. While I was taking it, my stomach didn't hurt, and I took it for two weeks. After that, to prevent the pain from returning, I took Neuromultivit for another month. It contains the same vitamins as Neurodiclovit, just in a higher concentration.

Everything you've just listed are pain relief methods. I hope you understand that the spine continues to deteriorate while you simply don't feel it because you've numbed the pain, and the pain you've relieved now will return a hundredfold. I'm just reasoning now, but there was a time when instead of getting out of bed in the morning, I would slowly turn onto my stomach and slide sideways onto the floor, and then, from the floor, piece by piece, onto my feet :) They saved me at "Praskovya" – a neighborly grandmother convinced me that they would help me and that the consultation would be free in any case. And so it turned out, they also gave me a herbal sauna and diagnostic massage – also for free. Then we determined the treatment. About a month later, I was young and lively again, and I haven't thought about the bad for almost a year now. It's at Respublika 250, I think building 1, right after "Electron" to the right. First, you'll treat your spine, and second, you'll save on medications :)

I know from personal experience what it's like when your back hurts. I advise not to delay and go see a doctor. I was prescribed a treatment course that helped me a lot. First, I took Neurodiclovit for two weeks. It contains diclofenac, which relieves pain and reduces inflammation, but there's not too much of it, so it doesn't harm the stomach. During those two weeks, my back stopped hurting, but I also took Neuromultivit for another month to prevent the pain from returning. It contains B vitamins, which are necessary for treating back pain.

My lower back hurts when I walk long distances. Otherwise, I have no complaints. Could this mean there is a problem with my lower back and I should see a doctor?
I can say that walking is beneficial. But if your back hurts, you need to strengthen your muscles; there are very good and simple exercises, and at my age of 60, I manage just fine. And to relieve back pain, I apply Salvisar ointment. It's a domestic product, inexpensive, and very effective.

I would refer you to a neurologist, maybe something is pinched. Actually, Fastum Gel works well for me; it's cooling and has a pleasant smell.
Does it relieve the pain? My back seized up too, my mom rubbed some cream or gel on me, the smell was super awful, and the main thing is it didn't get any easier. But anyway, ladies... I'll say that from age 25 it's important not to forget about physical activity, then your back will feel better!

Yes, Bystrumgel works as both a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, 2 in 1. I personally love the cooling effect—it feels like immediate relief, though in reality it gets much better after about 15 minutes. And the lavender scent is the best, none of those stinky ointments from mom)))
Got it, I'll keep that in mind. Because when it hits, you don't know what to grab or where to run. It's definitely better to have a gel like that at home, for sure :)
Our whole family treats muscle and joint pains with Salvisar ointment. I once used it for a sprain, and it helped very effectively—now I always keep it in the medicine cabinet.

I always use the Viper Venom balm. It doesn't burn the skin, but it warms it up and relieves pain well, so I always buy only this one.
I had that issue due to a weakened pelvic floor. The Tulip exercise device helped me. I used it for a month and everything went away—give it a try.

For back pain, you should see a neurologist. I kept putting it off and putting it off, then finally went, and it turned out nothing serious, but I needed treatment. They prescribed Etorelex for a course. I took it and felt better; now sometimes my back aches when the weather changes, and I take it then too, and everything's fine.

I have sciatica. Sometimes I catch a chill and it aches so badly that I take Nimesil. My daughter brought me Revmalgon 911 gel. I apply a thin layer of the gel and massage it in until fully absorbed. It provides immediate relief, eases the pain, reduces inflammation, and has a warming effect.

It could be sciatica or a pinched nerve. In such cases, I rub my back and lower back with Artromivit 911 Twins Tech cream. The cream has anti-inflammatory properties, relieves stiffness, improves mobility, and reduces inflammation.
Hello. First, go for an MRI. It's important to rule out a herniated disc or spinal canal stenosis. See an orthopedist and/or a neurologist/neurosurgeon. However, it's better to come for a consultation with the MRI results—both the report and the disc.
If anyone needs a consultation and/or custom orthopedic insoles, please contact: Instagram - @doctorhayk Phone: 8-985-760-31-84 (it's better to send an SMS or WhatsApp message first)
So far, everyone has been satisfied.

There are tablets that reduce fever and inflammation, Teraliv 275.
Valdeksal injections (if you know how to administer them); our Russian diclofenac should not be injected more than twice during the entire treatment—it should not be used excessively. Diclofenac rectal suppositories are excellent for relieving pain, especially tooth pain.
Dexalgin in injections.
If there is nerve inflammation, it is advisable to take pain relievers along with vitamins, such as Neurodiclovit tablets twice a day for a week.
Combilipen can also be administered via injection.
You need to know the cause of your inflammation.

I recently started using Artromivit cream, and I can already feel its effects—my condition has improved. My knee joint became inflamed, an old injury making itself known. My knee was aching, hurting, and felt stiff. After the treatment course, the stiffness completely disappeared, and joint mobility improved.

Dull, aching lower back pain can occur with "pelvic tilt." It often affects people who do not engage in physical activity and have sedentary jobs, or after abdominal surgeries. The consequences can be very severe, as your entire body weight shifts onto one leg, leading to joint wear and tear. This condition is easy to diagnose: place your hands on your hips—if they are at the same height, everything is normal. You can also get an X-ray to check pelvic symmetry, which is more reliable.

For back and neck pain, I use a great, effective, and inexpensive ointment called Evamenol Active. It's really awesome—it cools and relieves pain along with inflammation. Plus, it has a good, safe composition with natural ingredients.
My lower back hurts when bending over, walking, and it radiates down to my legs with sharp, shooting pains. Yesterday and the day before, it was just a slight, gentle pulling sensation. This morning everything was fine, but when I got to work—I got out of the car and almost collapsed from the sudden pain.
The pain isn't severe, but it's noticeable.
Kidneys are ruled out, as I've been checked before.
Gynecologically, everything's fine too, since we're planning a pregnancy and I just got tested recently—everything was great.
It's too early for pregnancy-related pain; I haven't even missed my period yet, still waiting...
Otherwise, I feel excellent.
I don't understand any of this.
And which doctor should I see if it doesn't go away...
