Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After metallic implants in the body like THR an MRI scan cannot be done for evaluation of the spine. The CT scan is suggestive of spondylottic changes in the spine which is causing the pain and stiffness. In addition to the medicines that you are already taking you can add an oral muscle relaxant like thiocolchicoside after consulting your orthopedician. This will help in relieving the muscle spasms. Increasing your daily fluid intake will also help.
Strengthening the muscles that support the spine helps keep the spine in its proper position and reduces risk of sprains, strains and lower back pain. Maintain fitness with exercises that include back stretching and strengthening exercises under guidance of a physiotherapist. This will help in retarding the further progression of the disease.
I hope this answers your query.
