Hi XXXX
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
How was your day?
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.I give them a splint,rest,analgesics,anti-inflammatory tablets and ice pack till the swelling reduces to some extent. Then i get an xray and if necessary an mri done to find out the exact reason.
In your case,there are 3 possibilities-
POSSIBILITY 1. SOFT TISSUE INFLAMMATION- there may be no bony involvement,only the soft tissues around the back might be inflammed that may be causing the pain
POSSIBILITY 2. NEUROPATHY- there may be a partial or complete swelling of the nerves in that region that may be the root cause of such kind of pain.
POSSIBILITY 3. DISC PROLAPSE-there may be a compressed a nerve in the region somewhere that might be causing radiating pain in those regions.Possibility of a disc prolapse should be kept in mind.
I suggest you get an Xray as well as an MRI and a detailed blood profile investigations done to find out the exact cause.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
But i assure one thing, even if it is either of the above 3 possibilities,all have a good prognosis
Do get back to me after ur reports are ready.

Hi
Welcome back
i mean to say the swelling around the muscles and soft tissues inside.
well an xray will just show the bones.
an mri will show all the nerves,discs,muscles and everything for that matter.
it will help you a proper diagnosis so that it can be cured completely.
