My Brother just had heart surgery about 5 weeks ago. Today he said he woke up and he is having shooting pains across his lower back and cannot move. Does this have anything to do with his surgery - before this he has been very active walking a mile a day - he is worried.
Hello, I had gone through the case and found that if there is angioplasty has done then might be pain present due to insertion of femoral vein, but this is very rare. There might be other cause like-Slip discMuscle spasmSciatica nerve pain. For slip disc diagnosis go for vertebral X-ray.Meanwhile, take painkiller and muscle relaxant gel for local application. Take rest. Hope my answer will be effective for you. Thanks
