Suggest treatment for back pain
Patient: Hi Doctor, Yesterday I had a sudden back pain started when playing table tennis, i could not walk or lift my left leg , there severe pain . I managed to comeback home with someone s help but i have severe back pain ( lower left side of spine) and cannot walk or move around in the home, it s very painful to wake up from bed or chair without help . I have taken combiflam 400mg - 2 tab per day but it s give very less temporary help. Please suggest if there any other suitable medicine i should take atlease to make me move or any other suggestion. Pls also advice for long tern cure. Regards, Ramanuj Doctor: Hi,from history it seems that there might be heavy back muscle strain while playing table tennis leading to spasm of back muscle giving this problem.Take analgesic with muscle relaxant like Dan-MR twice a day for 3 days.Apply analgesic, muscle relaxant cream over the part.Apply hot fomentation.Take rest for 2-3 days.Ok and take care.
