What is lumbago and what can you do about it?
What is lumbago and what can you do about it? Lumbago, also known as lumbago, is a common form of lower back pain that often occurs suddenly. It usually results from improper movement, overuse, or prolonged tension in the lower back. With lumbago, the lower back feels stiff and painful, making movements such as bending or twisting difficult. Although the symptoms are annoying, lumbago is usually harmless and recovers on its own within a few weeks. With the right approach, you can relieve the pain and speed up recovery.

What are the symptoms of lumbago?
- Sudden pain in the lower back: Often after improper movement or strenuous exercise.
- Stiffness in the back: The muscles in the lower back feel tight and tense.
- Movement restriction: It is difficult to bend down, stand upright or turn.
- Pain that gets worse with movement: Activities such as lifting, standing or walking can make the pain worse.
What is lumbago and what can you do about it?
Although lumbago usually goes away on its own, there are several ways to relieve the pain and support your recovery:
- Rest and light exercise: Avoid strenuous exercise, but keep moving gently to avoid stiffness.
- Heat treatment: A warm compress or jar on the lower back helps relax muscles and reduce pain.
- Light stretching exercises: Gently stretching can help release tension in the lower back and improve mobility.
- Painkillers if needed: Over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol, may provide temporary relief.
- Watch your posture: Make sure you sit up straight and lift heavy objects by bending your knees instead of your back.
When should you consult a doctor?
Although lumbago usually goes away on its own, it is important to consult a doctor if:
- The pain persists for more than two weeks.
- The pain radiates to your legs or is accompanied by numbness.
- You experience loss of strength in your legs.
