My Dr diagnosed me as having a lumbar strain.?

Question

I have a heaviness sensation occuring in my lower back. Has anyone else had this problem with a lumbar strain?

Answer 1

Yes, good butt massage helped.

Answer 2

Well commonly, you're going to have that sensation considering the fact that a lumbar strain is a strained lower back muscle. My thoughts are just to go easy on your back and it's likely that the pain and heaviness will go away. Really though, the sensation you are experiencing is common for what you have. Just let it heal and I think you'll be fine.

Answer 3

Typical warning signs of a potentially life-threatening problem are bowel and/or bladder incontinence or progressive weakness in the legs. Patients with these symptoms should seek immediate medical care.
Severe back pain (such as pain that is bad enough to interrupt sleep) that occurrs with other signs of severe illness (e.g. fever, unexplained weight loss) may also indicate a serious underlying medical condition, such as cancer.
Back pain that occurs after a trauma, such as a car accident or fall, should also be promptly evaluated by a medical professional to check for a fracture or other injury.
Back pain in individuals with medical conditions that put them at high risk for a spinal fracture, such as osteoporosis or multiple myeloma, also warrants prompt medical attention.
In general, however, back pain does not usually require immediate medical intervention. The vast majority of episodes of back pain are self-limiting and non-progressive. Most back pain syndromes are due to inflammation, especially in the acute phase, which typically lasts for two weeks to three months.
