Suggest Treatment For Pain In Lower Back And Pelvic Area
I straight over to pick something up about a month ago (meaning I didn't bend my knees). The next day I took a 3 hour car trip and afterwards had terrible back pain especially in tailbone area. I broke my tailbone 24 years ago and wondered if this could be a connection. My lower back, pelvic and tailbone pain is still hurting offf and on after a month of my new injury. Any advice?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely a lumbosacral disc herniation or osteochondrosis. An examination with orthopedician will give clue for that and a X ray followed by MRI if needed of lumbosacral spine can confirm it.For such condition in my patients i advise NSAIDs like aceclofenac muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine and neurotropic drugs.I also send them for physiotherapy along with this.A lumbar supporting belt will be helpful also.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
