Why does my lower back hurt and I can’t straighten my back?

There are various reasons for the back pain that makes it difficult to straighten your back, so you cannot deal with or treat it casually. You must understand the cause and deal with it scientifically. For example, liver and kidney deficiency, lumbar disc herniation, and some gynecological diseases can all cause this symptom.

1. There are many reasons for low back pain: such as being unable to straighten your back due to low back pain, being unable to hold your head in your lower back due to low back pain, low back pain that does not go up, low back pain with a headache, low back pain with straight feet, back pain (lumbar disc herniation), low back and leg pain, pain in the tendons and bones of the lower back and legs, and liver and kidney deficiency can also cause low back pain and chest tightness (hepatitis). Based on the condition you described, it is very likely a lumbar disc herniation.

2. Lumbar disc herniation is caused by low back pain. If the low back pain is not cured for a long time, the condition will worsen over time and cause lumbar disc herniation. The reason is this: the kidney water is depleted and cannot nourish the brain, while the brain qi is deficient and cannot flow down to the kidneys, just like the traffic on the river cart is blocked and cannot flow smoothly, causing pain.

3. If it is used for kidney deficiency and spleen dampness invasion: add 130 grams of raw Atractylodes macrocephala, 110 grams of Semen Coix, and 80 grams of Euryale ferox to a packet and add 3000 grams of water, boil it into one bowl, drink it all at once, the symptoms will be relieved in one day, and completely cured in three days. Never relapse. If it is a lumbar disc herniation, it will heal in one day, but will relapse after three to five days. Note: Atractylodes macrocephala must be used raw, otherwise the spleen dampness will flow downward and the condition will be aggravated, remember this.

4. Low back pain refers to pain occurring on one or both sides of the waist. Women have physiological characteristics such as menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, as well as pathological characteristics such as menstrual disorders, leucorrhea, pregnancy diseases, gynecological diseases, and birth control, so low back pain is a common symptom. More than 80% of multiparous women may experience low back pain, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and postpartum period, which is often considered to be physiological pain and does not require special treatment. In fact, the degree of low back pain in women varies from person to person, there are great clinical differences, and the duration of the pain also varies. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out some treatment, but more importantly, it is one's own self-recovery and health care.
