S33.5: Sprain and strain of lumbar spine

Sprain and strain of the luminary spine is a medical condition that involves damage to the ligaments and muscles of the lower back, specifically in the lumbar region. This injury typically occurs when an individual experiences an abrupt or harsh movement, such as heavy lifting or a sudden twist, that overextends or tears these tissues. Symptoms often include pain and discomfort in the lower back, difficulty moving or bending, and a potential increase in pain with activity. Occasionally, patients may also notice swelling in the affected area. Depending on the severity of the injury, this condition might cause limitations in daily activities and routines due to the discomfort and restricted mobility. However, it is also important to note that the extent of pain does not always reflect the degree of physical damage; small strains can sometimes cause substantial pain while severe sprains may not be as painful.
