Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi , I am 66 years old . Two years ago I had a fall and fractured my lumbar bone . I had a vitobroplasty surgery done. After that , I had been having chronic lower back pain . The pain comes on when I stand or sit too long . It goes away when I rest .Is it ok for me to take Neurobion ?
Hi.after knowing your complains I feel this is a residual pain which is seen after most of the vertebroplasty. The metal implants most of the time benign a foreign body in your body cause various reactions which may ultimately cause low back pain. In my clinic with such scenario I advice some life style modifications like to avoid unnecessary n extra ambulation whenever possible, not lifting have objects n taking rest whenever possible in between the walks. Some painkillers like ibuprofen and some muscle relaxant like thiocolchicoside for a few days added with local painkiller gel application to avoid systemic side effects of above painkillers. Even after this precautions and medications pain persists, I would have advised the metal implant removal surgery n then an MRI to know the exact pathology inside. U can discuss with your orthopaedic surgeon the above options n get a proper management under his guidance. U should continue neurobion to prevent any further damage to your nerves. I wish you a painless back n healthy life.
