What can be done to relieve severe back pain that aggravates while lifting heavy weights?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest the following:

1. Avoid lifting heavy weights.

2. Avoid arching your back. Instead, bend your knees to pick up something from the floor.

3. Avoid sitting for long hours.

4. Avoid two-wheeler rides.

5. Improve your posture while sitting.

6. Try to get up from your chair. Every 20 minutes, take a quick walk around and then continue working. Always sit on a chair with back support.

7. Do not get up suddenly from a sleeping position. Rather, turn to the side and then get up.

8. Take bed rest if there is severe pain.

9. Do hot fomentation locally over the affected area at least twice daily.

I suggest you get X-rays done and follow up. X-ray lumbosacral spine - AP (anteroposterior) and lateral views.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards.
