How Can Pain In The Lower Back And Legs Be Treated?

Denzel, a 46-year-old man, is working with his physical therapist on a set of back exercises. Around four weeks ago, Denzel was helping a friend move and attempted to lift a heavy box. Since that incident, he has had severe pain in his lower back that extends into his lower leg. His health care provider prescribed physical therapy three times per week to treat the condition.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

You have got acute back sprain with radicular pain to.lower limb. This has happened due to lifting the weight with a jerk to back. You need to take rest and stop lifting weight for a week. Avoid forward bending also.

Start tablet Myoril twice a day and tablet Ultracet twice a day for 5 days, along with tablet Pregalin X one at bedtime. Myoril is a muscle relaxant, and tramadol drug helps in pain relief. Pregabalin is for the relief of lower limb pain. A visit to the orthopedic specialist is also recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
