Suggest Treatment For Back Pain
Question: Hi,
I have back pain started 10 days back. I went to doctor and he told me to get blood report for Vit D and B12 and also X-RAY for your spine.
My report is as follow:
25-hydroxy vitamin D = 11 ng/ml
B12 = 350 pg/mL
After X-RAY report, doctor told me that there is decrese in gap between c5-c6 section of spine.
He suggested me Vit d + B12 supplements and also some exercises for neck.
I just wanted to know how this had happened. I was doing exercise for last 2 months- cycling and weight lifting (10 kg dumbell) and ab roller (around 20-30 times). I usually do in the same sequence as I mentioned above. After doing I usually do stretch exercise.
Is there any remedy for the same?
I feel more stiffness in the morning.
