Suggest medication for pain in the mid lower back area
Patient: Hello, I am a fourteen year old female. For over a month I have been experiencing pain in my mid to lower back. I have had an ultra sound to rule out any problems with organs. The hospital has ruled it as just a muscle spasm and have prescribed physio and muscle relaxants. When I got home I noticed that my hips are uneven (right higher than left) and that my shoulders are uneven (left higher than right) I had a back X-ray and am awaiting the results, I was just wondering what you thought it may be Doctor: Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic. After going through your query I think You are suffering from acute backache due to slip disc.Treatment of it is rest and analgesics . Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective. Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE 20 MG before meals  prevent acidity caused by analgesics. Second possibility is simple muscular pain. Treatment of it is similar .Muscular pain  takes 5-7  days to relief while disc prolapse may take2-3 weeks and even more.To further investigate MRI of the region is advised. You  may consider this after discussing with your treating doctor. If you are thinking to hospital then see a orthopedician. I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query.
