Suggest medication for severe back pain in a diabetic patient
Patient: Iam Sivaram, My Mother (Name Ammu Iyer) is having  severe back pain. She is 60 yrs old and undergone brust cancer treatment in 2008. She is having BP. Diabetics were there when she was undergoing tretatment for Cancer which was brought in to normal.... what medicine should be given to her for an immediate relief? Doctor: Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that  your mother are suffering from chronic backache. Looking to her age I consider it to be lumbar spondylosis. Rest in position of relief, Cartisafe D once daily, NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet three times a day after meals) is required. I think she will need this. OMEPRAZOLE  before meals  prevent acidity caused by analgesics. 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 need to done MRI TO RULE OUT other causes. 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.
