Pain meds & mussle relaxers don t have much effect and the pain comes back again and again...any ideas on how I can eleminate this problem??

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post is indicative of neural damage due to compression secondary to the back strain.
Symptomatic relief will be obtained with the help of nervigenic agents like Vit B12, Vit B6 & Folic acid.
If symptoms still persist, then you need to get an MRI of the spine to detect the degree of compression.
Further step of management to be decided based on it.
So, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a proper clinical examination done including nerve conduction studies.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
