Suggest Treatment For Pain In Lower Back

6 months ago my husband started complaining of pain in his lower back. Had a MRI done which didn t show anything. Had a second MRI done of the top of the spine. This again showed nothing. The doctor is sending him to a neurologist. He is in the first stages of dementia. He is now unable to stand erect. The longer he stands the lower he goes. His legs bend also. He has lost about 20 pounds in the 6 months. The orthopaedic doctor we have seen is thinking along the terms of Parkinsons.

You have not mentioned your age which is very important in case of back pain. As per your history I will advice you to take some pain killer like ultracet or biozobid-plus only when your back pain is worse enough or disturbing your routine work. Apart from this you can take some calcium supplements like shalcal or toscal-gem once daily preferably in afternoon. You can do some physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist. I will also advice you to sleep on a plain surface as it is very helpful in case of back pain.
