Suggest Treatment For Severe Shooting Back Pain
Hello, I have been experiencing intense back pain for weeks. tight/sore muscles, shooting pain, strange knots in muscles, occasional spasms. Does this sound serious or just like common back pain? Am considering going to my primary care clinic, do you think I should go there or to some kind of specialist?

Hi,
YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM PROLAPSED DISC. Primary treatment of this is bed rest, analgesics (Diclofenac sodium50mg three times a day) Methylcobalamin one tablet daily, but it takes a longer time to relief.
If one develops neurological symptoms then the operation is required. This operation is everywhere in India.
In my opinion, you should do it locally because frequent follow up will be required to get operated by the orthopedic surgeon of your choice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
