Can drug interaction cause severe lower back pain?
Patient: I am 42 have severe lower back pain the doctor prescribed naproxen and muscle relaxers my son has asthma so I am afraid of flexerall in case he needs me. I went to bed with back spasm and woke up with my lower body shaking and my teeth chattering. I also take celexa for anxiety 40 mg could this be a drug interaction? A panic attack or part of my back problem. The back pain started in earnest Saturday Doctor: HI welcome to HCM.Yes this could be possible drug interaction in your case.Anxiolytics are known to cause frequent drug interactions with analgesics and antiasthmatics.I advise you to use topical analgesic alcohol spray thrice a day along with topical diclofenac ointment thrice daily in between to relieve your back spasms.An MRI scan can be used in case if you do not respond to these standard analgesic medications.I advice you to consult a Neurosurgeon in case if find your pain harder to bear.Post your further queries if any.Thank you.
