I've Had Back Pain For 10 Months Now. All On

default
Posted on Wed, 25 Dec 2019
Question: I've had back pain for 10 months now. All on the right side. My back muscles have been spasmed. I've had lots of different opinions. I've seen chiropractors, massage therapists, had ultrasound therapy, magnetic therapy, etc. Nothing has worked. I've had an MRI a few months ago and it showed no issues at all except for scoliosis. I've just had an X-ray and there's a big black spot on it where most of the pain is. Can you please analyze this and let me know what it could be (most important)? Also, please analyze my spine as well. Thanks.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I have checked the attached X Rays and indeed there is some amount of scoliosis involved. However, I would insist you to get Vitamin D supplement (60,000 Units) once weekly for 6 weeks. Low Vitamin D levels could impede with proper muscle relaxations and could give rise to a presentation like in your case. I would also insist you to take vitamin C supplement for at least a couple of weeks as that is needed for a good connective tissue as in case of the musculoskeletal tissue. You also need regular exercises and physical therapy. This is very important. However I do nto think that chiropractors, magnetic therapists etc. can help.
