It may be due to lumbar muscle strain. Cold exposure and poor sleeping posture during sleep can lead to poor blood circulation, resulting in swelling and pain. The patient should avoid unhealthy lifestyle habits. Attention should be paid to lumbar care, avoiding prolonged sitting or maintaining the same waist position for extended periods. Heat therapy and stretching exercises can help relax the lower back muscles.
