Hi Kris, only 3 days ago I woke up and had a very sudden, sharp, intense pain in my lower back on the left side. It has not gotten any better since and I’ve noticed that the local area is numb and it is a burning pain that I’m suffering from. What could it be? I’ve never had this before and I’m not sure how it has been caused or how to get rid of it.

Hello,

Unfortunately, since I don’t know anything more about you (age, medical history etc) it could be any number of things. From very serious to relatively minor (but painful)

I’d go and see your nearest chiro or at the very least your GP. You could even go to A&E and see if they would do further tests such as xrays.

I’m sorry I can’t be any of any more help here!

Kris
