Why is there pain in lower back when I lie on a sofa or bed?

Question

Hi doctor,

I have pain in the lower back when I lay on a sofa or bed. When I stand, I have the pain in my back. This symptom appears only in the evening. It never happens in the morning or afternoon. I have taken X-ray and analytics. The results are: 1. SV 1 spina bifida. 2. There is a mild tilt of the lumbar spine to the left side. 3. ESR for the first hour is 42. 4. The second hour is 79. 5. ASO: Negative. 6. CRP: positive 15.2. 7. RF: Negative. I took medicine to cure sedimentation rate for only a month before two years.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms (local back pain when laying) could be related to the spina bifida. I do not think that there is any bulging disc or nerve compression. Anyway, I would recommend performing a lumbar spine MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) study to examine the spine better.I would recommend performing physiotherapy to improve your situation. Local warm packs can also be helpful too.
