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 am a 63 year old male in reasonable shape. I am 6 3 and weigh 265. I have a lot of stiffness in my back that affects my golf game, so I am trying to study that and take some action into it. I am also stiff overall after I sit for periods of time. Thanks.
It could be cervical spondylitis. As a first line management analgesics/antispasmodic combination like aceclofenac/baclofen can be taken. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. An MRI spine may be required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
