Suggest Treatment For Severe Joint Pain During Ovulation
Question: hi , I have had what seems to be sacroiliac pain for the past few years. The joint/hip pain is worse during ovulation, menses and when a bowel movement is forthcoming. I feel that the pain is due to inflammation. I'm mostly sedentary but not very overweight. I sit for work. What are your thoughts?
Brief Answer:
Can be treated by physiotherapy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Low Back Pain Common Causes (considering your age):
• Nerve root syndromes are those that produce symptoms of nerve impingement (a nerve is directly irritated): Herniated discs, Spondylosis and Spinal disc degeneration
• Musculoskeletal pain syndromes that produce low back pain includes myofascial pain syndromes and fibromyalgia.
• Noninfectious inflammation of the spine (spondylitis) can cause stiffness and pain in the spine that is particularly worse in the morning
The following measures will help with the pain
• Lie on a hard bed.
• Anti -inflammatory drugs like Tablet Motrin 1 tablet as and when required ( do not repeat a dose before 6 hours) with food will help relieve the pain.
• Correct your posture while sitting
• Avoid prolonged sitting
• Avoid strenuous activity & lifting heavy weights.
• Apply diclofenac gel on the affected area. Warm compresses will also help.
Adequate rest and proper nutrition is equally important. Drink lots of fluids since dehydration affects the disc. Eat a diet rich in fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, nuts, milk, eggs, pulses and cereals.Do brisk walking exercise for 40 minutes daily. Get 6-8 hours of refreshing sleep daily.
Do start with swimming.this will good for most back pains.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
