Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain
Question: I am suffering from extreme lower back pain. I am a recovered alcoholic and I have had liver and stomach ulser issues. I can't take nsaids. Will ultrum help? I am a 60 yr old female with severe ostioparosis. My recent labs and ultrasound show normal liver function and no scaring.
Brief Answer:
You can take it, but not in empty stomach.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. You should apply hot compress as it could provide relief. Ultram (tramadol) is a narcotic-like pain reliever and can help. Be sure to take it in full stomach in order to avoid chances of a gastric irritation.
It might be worthwhile to get an X ray of lumbosacral spine (AP and lateral) and to visit a physical therapist thereafter. Also get your vitamin D level checked. Taking vitamin D and calcium supplements could provide relief.
