Soreness and swelling on both sides of the waist may be related to lumbar muscle strain, urinary system diseases, gynecological diseases, lumbar spinal lesions, cold and other factors. This symptom is usually caused by long-term poor posture, local inflammatory stimulation, degenerative changes, etc. The cause needs to be determined based on the specific accompanying symptoms.

Typical manifestations are that symptoms worsen after exertion and are relieved after rest. There may be cord-like induration when local pressure is applied. It can be improved through physical therapy such as hot compress and massage. In the acute stage, bed rest is required and heavy lifting is avoided.

Symptoms are more obvious after standing and sitting for a long time, and may radiate to the lower limbs. The diagnosis needs to be confirmed by CT or MRI. Mild cases can be alleviated by traction treatment. For severe cases, transforaminal endoscopic surgery should be considered.

Pay attention to supplementing calcium and vitamin D in your diet. You can consume milk, black sesame seeds, etc. in moderation. If the acidity lasts for more than 1 week or is accompanied by fever, hematuria and other symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible to check for organic diseases. The acute attack can be relieved by hot compresses with salt bags, but this method is prohibited for those with damaged skin or abnormal sensation.
