Hello Neha. the tablet you are taking is for temporary relief. Take IFT and ultrasound for 10 days to get rid of pain and follow the below exerxises atleast once a day. Exercise's to reduce LBA 1. Lower tummy strengthening. 2. Deep abdominal strengthening. 3. Bridge. 4. Pelvis tilt. 5. Lower back stretch. 6. Leg stretch. 7. Piriformis stretch. After 10 days if still you feel pain i would like to suggest to go for X-ray of Lumbo sacral to confirm if there is any nerve compressed.

Knee-to-chest stretches? lie on the back on the floor. Bend the knees, keeping both feet flat on the floor. Use both hands to pull one knee in toward the chest.

Repeat with each leg 2?3 times twice a day. 3. Lower back rotational stretches?lie back on the floor with bent knees and feet flat on the ground.

Supermans? lie face down on the ground and stretch both arms out in front of the body, keeping the legs stretched out and flat on the ground.

You should do timely physiotherapy. Neither exaggerating nor improper timely physiotherapy will help. Consult a doctor if it persists more than a month or so.

Dear Lybrate user, the low back pain present since past 4 months can be due to muscle spasm or a disc related pathology. The medication you have mentioned is a combination of pain killer and muscle relaxant meant for muscle spasm. If giving inadequate relief, then a proper evaluation needs to be done based on your signs and symptoms such as whether the pain is also felt in legs, pain more on walking or sitting etc. Some further xrays and blood tests may also be required for proper evaluation. Please feel free to get in touch for further discussion.
