Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have severe back issues, a fusion in L5-S1, herniated disc in L4 and L3 and a compression fracture in T5 vertebra. I had recently went to the ER because of worsening pain and my pain medication not helping and was fast tracked and discharged with no imaging done. My question is if I should return to the ER because of the worsening pain and weakness in not only my legs but throughout my entire body.
Hi It isn't clear when you got these problems and what treatment was done. Presuming it to be older diagnosis, the unfused spine in L3,, 4, T12unhealed fracture mau be attributed to symptoms.Try fixing appointment with spine specialist as early possible. In meantime,avoid forward bending,wear Taylor brace to cover both thoracic and lower spine in daytime.Take Akele tabs after meals twice daily and some muscles relaxant tab like chloraxazone twice a day.these you may get OTC.
