Periodic backache, difficulty in moving leg due to stiffness, temporary relief with Etoshine, done MRI, spondylosis and arthritis test. Suggestion?
Patient: Hi I am suffering from Back Ache for quite a long time. This pain comes and goes on its own. Some times this pain gets so severe that I am unable to meve my leg an inch because of this pain and stiffness . I feel joint pain in between my back reebs also. Doctor has prescribed me ETOSHINE 60 for pain relief which is working well but on stopping this medicine pain comes back. Conducted MRI , Spondylitis Test and Arthrities test but all result was good. There is no sleep Disc also. Please suggest Deborshi Chatterjee S/W Engineer Doctor: hello Deborshi, welcome to HCM as u have mention about ur pain its due to spasm of muscles.. ur all the tests are also normal.. ur profession is software engineer which makes you to sit for a long period in front of desktop.. 1st you need some ergonomically change at your workstation.. 2nd you need to do some exercises to keep ur back strong enough to avoid the back pain.. so that u do not need to take pain killers..  stay fit Deborshi..  consult a good physiotherapist in  ur locality to learn proper exercises and few precautions...  u can mail me on sidharthphysio15@gmail.com so that i can guide u about ergonomical changes in ur workstation and exercises also..  take cae  thanks
