How To Treat The Acute Acute Back And Leg Pain?
Hi. I am having acute back & leg pain. In the past over 20 yrs. I have had 7 back surgeries. The pain severe. If I move my right leg a certain I cannot stand the pain. It is the front of my leg. Not in the back of the leg. I am also having a lot of right hip pain, & once in awhile I also have it on the left side as well. Can you give me something to go in? I don t want more back surgeries so I have been putting it off. Also, when I am in bed & got turn over to one side or the other the pain is really bad & when I wake in the morning it takes me a long time to be able to walk normal. Any suggestions? Thank-you!

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
You might be suffering from Acute mechanical back pain.
1. Hard bed rest for 2-3 days
2. Take some muscle relaxants like myoril 8 mg, etc., along with pain killers like diclofenac 50mg. You can continue using volini spray.
3. Hot water fomentation to back 2-3 times a day
4. Physiotherapy - Interferential therapy (IFT) to your back will help you relieve the pain
5. Avoid driving, leaning forward, sitting for prolonged time or lifting heavy weights. These activities can increase your back pain.
Even after a week if your pain doesn't gets relieved, better to get yourself examined by an orthopaedician. He might ask you to take an Xray of your back
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
