I have back pain since last 3 days. And it cause stress to me. I can not focus with my job. Please help me. What I need to do?

Question

Dear Lybrate user, acute back pain can be due to muscular spasm or disc herniation ( if you have lifted some heavy object) . Rarely it is due to other reasons which are frequently seen as reason for chronic for back pain,such as spine joints, ligaments etc. I'd advise to consult some specialist to rule out any major pathology and put you on conservative treatment of analgesics with muscle relaxants, rest and once pain is reduced then Physiotherapy. Regards

Back stretching- lie flat, pull one of the knee forward to chest, hold for 3 seconds, then bring the other knee forward to the chest and again hold for 3 seconds. Then pull both knees towards the chest and hold for 3 seconds. Repeat 10 times each exercise twice a day.
