How can severe backache be treated?
Patient: Thank you , I have never felt so much pain, its like every cell is suffocating. when I walk my insides hurt, my head hurts so much, I'm in tears. I had some back pain and they tried to inject something into my spine, the bones were so close together, they tried several times on each side. It's like I went in one person and came out another, for 12 days I've been in extreme crazy pain...please help me Doctor: Hello, I have studied your case.Most probable reason for your symptoms could be postural problem as you may be sitting for long time and working on computer/table for long time.When such patient comes to my hospital we usually take x ray spine or if required MRI to see for any nerve compression.Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include- Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stayPosition for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.Other less likely possibilities can be spinal disc bulge,TB spine Hope this answers your query.
