Please read the detailed response
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX,
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.
I can understand your concerns for backache. I will try my best to help you out.
Can you please provide me with the following specific information:
exact location of pain, nature if it is throbbing/ pricking/pressure type, intensity on scale of 1 to 10, radiation to other areas?
What are the exaggerating factors?
What are the relieving factors?
Any bowel / bladder complaint?
Any history of injury to back?
Any weakness perceived in the legs?
I also like to know more about your past medical history and occupation.
This information will help me to narrow down to a differential diagnosis to know the cause of your back pain.
I would recommend you a pain reliever and a muscle relaxant for symptomatic relief. rules of the website do now permit me to prescribe a particular medicine.
I would also suggest warm water fomentation for symptomatic relief.
I would also suggest a basic X-ray of the lumbar spine to look for any slip disc/ degenerative diseases of the spine.
I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
