You need doctor goko

Apply Aboniki balm..

It could be your appendix. If your appendix burst you could die. Stop trying to self medicate and get to the doctor asap. You should also have your kidneys checked.

Doctor ikuedu goko dey for you

What kind of mattress are you sleeping on? Firm Soft? Foam? Springs? And what is your sleeping position like? On your back, side, stomach, or fetal position?

You didn't specify the side of the waist where you feel the pain.. Is it the pelvic region and what side? When I get your answer then I know how to proceed. Thank you.

Go for MRI or CT scan to determine the cause before somebody prescribe gbogbo nishe (general purpose drugs) for you.
For now Ibuprofen might be useful to you.
Try a hot water massage or Ice (cold water) massage on the area too.
Try to exercise regularly
Increase your calcium and Vitamin D consumption

Do you smoke?
Do you work in an environment where you lift heavy objects?
Your sitting position is also important.
Infact the way you sleep could also cause this pains.

Above all go for scanning to determine what the cause is.

That's pile.

Too much of sugar intake.

You need conk Agbo Jedi

Do you feel the pain at d side of Ur stomach under the rib too?

Better go a medical exam before people recommend nonsense for you

See a doctor.

I could start asking of other symptoms like painful urination etc but we could be looking at infected kidneys or kidney stones.. (not sure until I completely hear all of the symptoms).. Pls visit a hospital asap and run all tests AVAILABLE. Lastly you said your waist, you need to be more specific, pelvic region or iliac crest?? Backside is different from waist.. Is it your lower back? If yes Kidney or kidney stones(pls refer to my statement upwards) if your whole back, could be a spinal muscular tear or even a nervous system malfunction (does it come with headaches).. Pls specify detailed symptoms.. I'm currently attending to other health issues but will keep a keen eye on your response.. It should be late in Nigeria.. Good afternoon..

Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability. The causes are many: structural changes in your spine if you are in the mid 40 and upwards; it could be positional (long sitting in an awkward position, sleeping on saggy mattress etc); or it could be a pointer to some pathological disease ( kidney, cancer etc).
If your pain increases with movement of your spine and relieves you when lying down, we are dealing with a musculoskeletal problem.

What to do nonetheless:
1. Go to any laboratory for normal x-rays and take the results to hospital. MRI or CT scan is expensive and is not the first line of investigative tests.

2. Dont self-medicate, some of the NSAIDS drugs are highly sensitive to internal organs. Go to hospital.

3. Change your work ergonomic ( make sure office desk and chair are suitable for proper working conditions). Avoid long sitting. Exercise is good when prescribed by a physiotherapist. You will be properly guided at the hospital.

4. Sleep on the floor for few days and observe if this improves your pain. Maybe it is time to change your saggy mattress and get an orthopedic mattress.
5. Go to Google for additional information on your condition, once you've adequately knowledge about it, you will be equipped on how to manage it.
Good luck.

If the pain is at the lower back and you are relieved when you lie on your back, I think it is just muscle and disc problem (?).

If the pain is so intense now, get crushed ice and put them inside a wet towel and place it on your lower back for 10-15 minutes. It will be cold, peppery and aching. Remove it when you can't feel anything again. This cycle should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Do that 2 to 3 times daily for 3 days.
* Sit with a back rest and avoid bending your back.
* Avoid long sitting
* Avoid carrying weight with your back bent
* Cycling can help to improve movement and to strengthen your back and abdominal muscles, especially if you are overweight.

Do these and still go to hospital as I highlighted before.

Good luck bro.

Sleep on the ground or hard surface.
