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.
My husband has been suffering with lower back pain in the soft tissue just above the butt. We have seen thre different dr.s. Each has given some type of pain med and muscle relaxer. No exrays or MRI. We have lidocaine patches and have used heat as well as ice no nothing seems to give him any relief. Any suggestions?
At this point when he used antinflamatory drugs such Advil unsuccessfully he may need to do an MRI or X-ray you check out the possible diagnosis.
It may be a bulking disc or pinched nerve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka,
