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 been having pain that wakes me in my lower lower back almost at my tailbone. It also gets bad during the day. I have MS and arthritis so this might just be one of those things I have to live with but I cannot live without sleep. Any suggestions?
The pain in the lower back is mostly postural in nature. This can be relieved with oral muscle relaxants and mild pain killers. Doing a hot compress will also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Arthritis can be on offer the causes of back pain. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. I also suggest physical therapy and regular exercise daily for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
