Hello,my name is dr Dorina Gurabardhi.
I understand your concern.Some remedies for your back pain are:
-Medication such as painkillers.You can use ibuprofen,codeine or hydrocodone.
-Physical therapy ,the application of heat, ice, ultrasound and electrical stimulation, as well as some muscle-release techniques to the back muscles and soft tissues may help alleviate pain.
-Cortisone:is an anti-inflammatory drug; it helps reduce inflammation around the nerve roots.You can take it as a tablet or i njection.
To prevent back pain its important to:
-Regular exercise
-Low body weight - the amount of weight people carry, as well as where they carry it, affects the risk of developing back pain.
-Fix posture when standing - make sure you have a neutral pelvic position. Stand upright, head facing forward, back straight, and balance your weight evenly on both feet - keep your legs straight and your head in line with your spine.
-Quit smoking if you are smoking
Hope my answer was helpful,thanks!
