Hello,
Every doctor has his or her method of treating patients. However, if I were your doctor I would like to know some things about that back pain since back pain can be produced by several causes.
Back pain common causes are Lumbalgias due to simple muscular contractures, lumbosacral spine pathologies, high urinary tract infections, renal lithiasis and many times less probable colon pathologies.
There are more causes but these are most common. Knowing this, I would do a physical exam to you first.
Then, depending on what that physical examination suggests some paraclinical studies such as urine test, complete haematology, lumbosacral spine x-rays and renal echogram.
It would be very important to know more about that pain and if there are some other concomitant symptoms. To treat that pain, we first need a clear diagnosis that a good physical examination will provide.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Luis Alberto Urdaneta Arenas, General & Family Physician
