Suggest treatment for severe back pain despite being treated with physical therapy
Patient: I have been dealing with lower back pain for over two years now, and at first it was diagnosed as a leg descrepency and was treated with PT. In October the pain started coming back and spreading to my upper back, legs, flared up my arthritis and along with those i started getting major migranes. The lower back pain is sharp while the upper back pain (which spreads to my shoulders) and leg pain is more numb and tingly. I have had xrays whick say my back is fine and blood tests that say my SEDS are fine. Its just been a battle and no one seems to have any answers so im just hoping to find some here.F14 Doctor: hi sir/madam,Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.Low back pain may be found in mild form in case of anemia, sciatica, rheumatoid arthritis, hemorrhoids, urinary calculi, uterine disorders etc also.Line of treatment as per Ayurveda:-The general principles of treatment of vata dosha are adopted in case of katishoola (low back pain).
