Muscle pain accompanied by lower back pain may be related to factors such as muscle strain, fasciitis, lumbar disc herniation, osteoporosis, kidney deficiency, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and receive targeted treatment after identifying the cause.

Prolonged poor posture or excessive fatigue may lead to muscle strain, causing body aches and lower back pain. Muscle strain usually manifests as local soreness and stiffness, and symptoms may worsen after activity. Symptoms can be relieved through hot compress, massage, and other methods. If necessary, medication such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules can be used according to medical advice.

2. Fasciitis

Fasciitis is a sterile inflammation of the fascia, often induced by factors such as exposure to cold, fatigue, etc. It is characterized by muscle pain, tenderness, and may be accompanied by lower back pain. Patients with fasciitis should pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding fatigue. They can use celecoxib capsules, loxoprofen sodium tablets and other drugs according to the doctor's advice, together with acupuncture and moxibustion, massage and other Chinese medicine treatments.

Traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations such as Jinkui Shenqi Pill and Liuwei Dihuang Pill can be used according to the doctor's advice, together with moxibustion, cupping and other TCM external treatments.
