Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain And Swelling In The Feet
Question: I am having severe back pain and at the same time my feet are swelling. My doctor is giving me pain pills for my back and lasix for my swollen feet. I am also seeing a chiropractor but I am not getting any relief.
Brief Answer:
Further examinations are necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
If you were my patient, I would ask for further examinations such a lumbosacral spine MRI, abdominal ultrasound, kidneys and thyroid function tests in order to achieve a correct diagnosis.
Only after a precise diagnosis treatment possibilities are clear.
Spinal stenosis, kidneys or thyroid gland dysfunction may cause such symptoms.
Discuss with your Doctor about getting evaluated further.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
