Suggest Mediations For Low Back Pain
I have acute low back pain and right leg pain about 45 days. The pain was the worst in the morning. I had hard time to put my socks and shoes on. I am using 6xAcetaminophen 650mg/day. 2 for every 8 hours. but still can not stop all the pain. I would like to know. Does my problem now need surgery? and what is the best Pain Relief medicine (prescription drugs) available with the lowest Side effects. Also your suggestions? with thanks

Hello. Your symptoms do seem quite severe if the pain is not controlled with the analgesics you are currently taking. Though there are few more analgesics which can be tried like tramadol and NSAIDs, I would suggest getting an X ray of the lumbosacral spine and clinical evaluation by an Orthopaedic. We need to find the exact cause of the pain and analgesics are only a temporary solution. Hope this helps.

Dr Geeta
