Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain In An Elderly Person
Hello, Mi name is Mike. I am 64 yrs. I have back pain on both sides of my back. I saw my GP & he thinks it just some muscle pulls. But, I have had this for About 4 weeks. I have done some limited stretch & a leg circle exercise ( lightly until any pain appears ). I take MS 15mg ( stage 4 cancer ) seperate issue. I have taken flexibility with no avail. Is there a ortho Dr. That can help me.

Hello,
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain,
