Suggest Cure For Back Pain
I have had low back, hip and thigh pain which is continually worsening. Also at rest I have musle pain in my thighs during which individual muscles will spasm. Sometimes my legs jerk and quiver. They also feel very weak. I tried doing some strengthening exercises but fatigue quickly. I have not seen a doctor for this as I do not have insurance. Any iformation would be greatly appreciated.

hello
welcome to hcm
well,you are suffering from 2 disorders which are interlinked i.e
(1) disc prolapse
(2) sciatica
if i were your treating doctor,i would have advised you the following treatment and instructions-
(1) if the pain is very severe take INJECTION THIOCOLCHICOSIDE INTRAMUSCULARLY two times a day for 3 days
(2) TABLET ETORICOXIB 60 mg two times a day after meals
(3) TABLET TIZANIDINE 2 mg three times a day after meals
(4) CAPSULE MEGANEURON 1500 mcg once deaily in the morning
(5) HOT FOMENTATION for 15 minutes in the region of pain 2-3 times daily for 1 week
(6) use a LUMBAR BELT throughout the day except during sleeping
(7) use a HARD MATERESS/BED for sleeping
(8) avoid standing for long hours/driving/bending down forward/lifting heavy objects
(9) the most important modality to have long term relief from pain is STRENGTHENING YOUR BACK MUSCLES BY PHYSIOTHERAPY....any good physiotherapist can teach you the specific back/spinal exercises which you can then do at home regularly and include those exercises in your daily routine...remember,in the beginning you might feel lazy to do exercises but remember medicines can only provide short term relief and permanent relief can only be obtained by strengthening your back by exercising regularly
i hope you shall find this information to be useful for yourself
take care
