Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing lower back pain. I am a tennis player but have never had my back hurt before. I do back exercises every morning. It hurts to sit for long periods but not when I stand. Ibuprofen does not seem to help. What else can I do? I am a 70 yr. old female.
For lower back pain you can take some pain killer like ultracet-plus or zerodol-sp only when the pain is worse enough or disturbing your daily routine along with some calcium supplements like shalcal-d or toscal-gem once daily. Take some multivitamin like metilda-af or neurobian-plus once daily. Do some physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist. I will also advice you to sleep on a plain surface.
