Treating Lumbago (sudden back lock) in Enschede
A sudden, cramped lower back. It often strikes on an awkward movement.
Lumbago is sudden, severe lower back pain that often strikes during an awkward or unexpected movement, such as bending or lifting. The back cramps up and almost every movement hurts.
Although lumbago feels alarming, it is usually harmless in nature: a joint or muscle responds with a cramp. That said, it can leave you seriously restricted.
Common symptoms
- Sudden, sharp pain low in the back
- A cramped, locked-up feeling
- Difficulty standing upright or moving
- Pain that eases in a particular position
