About lumbar spondylosis
Lumbar spondylosis is age-related wear and tear of the discs and small joints of the lower spine. It causes lower back pain and stiffness that is typically worse on bending, standing or walking for long and on waking, and eases with rest and gentle movement. When bony overgrowth or a bulging disc presses on a nerve, pain, tingling or numbness can shoot down the buttock and leg. Poor posture, heavy lifting, a sedentary job, obesity, smoking and earlier injury speed it up. Posture correction, core-strengthening and flexibility exercises, weight control and physiotherapy are the mainstays of care. Seek urgent medical help for loss of control of bladder or bowel, numbness around the groin or inner thighs, progressive leg weakness, fever with back pain, or pain after an injury or at night that does not ease.
