  Hello, some years ago i bumped inwards part of Knees together and it was ok after some weeks but now whenever i pull up my lower back i feel a sensation no pain necessarily but i don't understand what it is? Should i see physiotherapist?

  • I'm not a doctor, but I can try to provide some general information that may help you. The sensation you're experiencing in your lower back could have various potential causes, and it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
    
    Based on your description, it's possible that the previous incident where you bumped your knees together may have caused some strain or injury to your lower back. Over time, if the issue was not addressed or properly healed, it could lead to ongoing discomfort or sensations when you engage certain muscles or movements.
    
    A physiotherapist or a healthc...are professional with expertise in musculoskeletal issues can help assess your condition. They can evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and perform a physical examination to determine the underlying cause of your discomfort. They may also recommend further tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, if necessary.
    
    Once a diagnosis is made, a physiotherapist can develop a personalized treatment plan to help alleviate your symptoms and improve your condition. This might involve specific exercises, manual therapy techniques, posture correction, and lifestyle modifications.
    
    Remember, it's important to seek professional medical advice to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommendations based on your specific situation. Read more
