Suggest Medication For Lower Back Pain

Hi, I have a lower back pain. Took MRI scan 6 months back(result says disk bulge) and last week I took xray in coccyx area. A plastic surgery doctor from chennai said me that it is pilonidal sinus and he suggested me to take PENTIDS 400 mg and sitz bath daily for 5 days. Please explain me and suggest me the best way to cure it. Thanks much in advance

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi, Welcome to healthcare magic. After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises, NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (diclofenac 100mgSR). Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked .If it is low then vitamin D supplementation (Bon DK 60K weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. Pilonidal sinus is different disease it is not related to backache.You may have both. Further slight disc bulge on MRI may be normal. I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow up query.
