What causes severe back pain?
Patient: I m 14 years old and my back has been hurting really bad.. It s almost as if it needs to be stretched but I have Ben doing stretches for a few weeks and it still hurts and is really uncomfortable... I don t know what it will be and if it is something what is the cure... A back brace? Ice? Heat? Medication? Doctor: Hi, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. You need to done MRI to rule out other causes.Back exercises, neurotropics such as mecobalamine and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is low than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
