Lower back pain is not a specific disease diagnosis, It’s a symptom of several different types of medical problems. Such as:

• ligaments and muscles
• discs
• intervertebral discs

• the bony structures that make up the spine, called vertebral bodies or vertebrae

When the doctor gives you treatment, never take more than they recommend, because after that you may have other problems.

Tropical medicine is very effective for back pain, which contains ibuprofen and lidocaine.
