Suggest Treatment For Back Pain And Seasonal Affective Disorder
I think I am having symptoms of seasonal affect disorder. I am tired all the time. On the weekends I skip appointments to stay at home in bed or on the couch. I have real bad back pain and at times I can feel the nerve endings? The only thing that gets me out of bed during the week is work.

continuous back pain is not a good sign get your MRI done. Till then few remedies im telling you -first of all check if there is any spasm around back if yes then apply hot pack for 15 mins twice daily. -use firm mattress and good pillow -put a pillow under your calf muscles while lying on bed -keep bending your knees when you lie straight on your back -if there is tingling sensation then ankle toe movement(flexion-extension,rotation clock and anticlockwise) is good. -get your physiotherapy done -wear back support while walking if walk is neccsary otherwise stop walking for few days no brisk walk. -no driving or traveling for long distance. -too much lying is also not good keep changing your posture position. tk care
