Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

I have read your query.

Get MRI scan of whole spine done and send me the report, I want to see the present condition of vertebrae, intervertebral discs and spinal nerves.

Because pain is not subsiding there may be some serious problem in spine, so I advise that in addition to medication you should also take rest for about 3 days.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
