If your lower back pain is stopping you from standing up straight, it might be due to issues like flatback syndrome or a disc problem. It's important to talk to a healthcare provider for the right diagnosis and treatment.
Lower back pain that prevents you from standing up straight can be caused by several conditions. One possible cause is flatback syndrome, which can happen after spinal surgery. This condition makes it hard to stand up straight because the spine loses its normal curve. Another possible cause is a herniated disc in the lower back. This can cause pain not only in the back but also in areas like the groin.
Understanding the cause of your pain is key to getting the right treatment. Always consult with a healthcare provider to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
