Suggest Treatment For Severe Spasms And Pain In The Back And Neck

Was it a contrast CT?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.
Of course meningitis can present with worsening neck pain and stiffness but then there may be other features as well like fever,headache and vomiting,though again all these features may not present in all patients.The key point is that clinical examination gives certain clues to the diagnosis in most of the cases.If clinical examination suggests,a contrast CT usually shows enhancement of the meninges,even in early stage(was that CT a contrast CT).If these things are supportive of diagnosis,spinal tap is done.In some cases with a strong clinical setting,tap may be done directly as well depending upon the clinical
situation.Ibuprofen usually causes gastritis and pain abdomen.Pantoprazole for 5 days will heal it.Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow up.
Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
MD,DM(Neurology)
