What Causes Back Pain With Bruises Over The Spine?
Ive had back pain for a long time and was diagnosed with fybro myalgia. Ive never liked that diagnosis because the pain has often been so severe I couldnt posibly beleive that people get through this with simple excersize and sevela. It hasnt helped much at all. Today I woke up with bruises over my spine and yesterday it hurt so much I had to crawl on the floor when I sorted through my laundry. Its the lower part of my back 2 larger dots that apear to be over the spongie parts of my disc and a half circle of smaller ones above the two.
I have studied your case. Usually nerve compression cant be seen on x ray you may need MRI for this. There will be age related spondylitis but if there is any nerve compression then that may need specific treatment.
I will advise you to do MRI spine Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
