How to overcome recurring backache ?
Patient: Hello, I m Yogesh H Pathak, age 36 yrs, weight 90 kg. suffering back problem since last 20 days. The pain is exactly at below left shoulder side and due to continuous pain now my left arm also paining. I had visited Rehabilitation center and took traction for 10 min daily and hot water therapy for 4 days. After that my pain was reduce but not 100%. Still sometime its paining. Kindly suggest for what reason its happening and how it will sort out. Thanks Doctor: Welcome to Healthcare MagicThis kind of pain probably indicates spinal nerve compression. Have you taken X-ray/MRI. Are you having loss of weight recently. Any cough. You need to get some tests like complete blood counts, Haemoglobin, if you have cough you can get sputum test to rule out TB. Are you a smoker. It would be best if you consult with Neurosurgeon first. Avoid doing any heavy activity like lifting weights. Eat high protein diet like pulses, cereals, eggs, fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water. Exercise daily. Kindly reply on the above issues.
