Question by Ashim on Oct 22, 2024Hindi

Health

I am 52 years old active man , i have a left side back pain( above left hip) ) , the problem become severe when i on bed ( sleeping) .. otherwise no such problem occurred during my daily work.. pls guide

Ans: Hello Ashim,

Thank you for reaching out. I recommend consulting a physiotherapist for a personalized assessment and treatment plan. Based on your description of left-side back pain that worsens during sleep, it’s essential to examine your sleeping position and mattress quality. If you sleep on your back, try placing a pillow under your knees to maintain the natural curve of your spine. For side sleepers, a pillow between the knees can help keep the hips aligned. It’s also important to evaluate your mattress; a medium-firm option is typically best for support. Incorporating gentle stretches, such as Child’s Pose and knee-to-chest stretches, can help relieve tension, while strengthening exercises for your core and glutes will further support your back. Wishing you a swift recovery!

Question by Soubhagy - Jul 31, 2024Hindi

Health

Madam, i am 38yrs old last 3-4 months i am suffering back pain and front pain hip side.

Ans: Hello Soubhagy,
Have you done an x-ray? have you done your blood reports recently?
When is your pain worse? When is it better? How did it start? How is your overall diet? Are you overweight? Are you sitting for long hours?
It would be best for you to visit an orthopedic or physiotherapist once as they need to understand the root cause of your back pain and accordingly help you out.
All the best!

Health

Why does my back hurt even after sleeping for 7 to 8 hours? Could it be my posture? I'm suffering from mild but persistent lower back pain that doesn't go away even after a good night's sleep. Actually I don't work out, but I sit for long hours at my desk. Could this be muscle weakness or a spine issue? What exercises or physiotherapy approach can fix this? Please help

Ans: Hey, long hours of sitting and no workouts can lead to weak core and glutes, causing postural back pain. It’s likely muscle imbalance, not a spine issue. Start with:
• Pelvic tilts
• Glute bridges
• Cat-cow stretches
• Short walks every 1–2 hours
Strengthening your core and improving posture can reduce the pain over time. Physio can speed this up if it persists.

2. Even if WBJEEB does not reply, do not panic. The final verification of academic details (board, marks) occurs at the time of counseling/admission, not during the exam.
