Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I am taking Procaria 30mg and Coeg 6.25 mg. I have been taking them for 2 weeks and I am experiencing lower back pain on my left side. Can this be a side affect of the drugs? Besides high blood pressure I am in good health with no other health conditions.
depending on age,occupation and physical habits, low backache may have different causes of origin.Left side lower backache may not be from meds you are taking, even then get you Kidney function tests like serum creatinine, urea and urine test done for ruling out side effects.If movement of back ,bending or twisting is originating symptoms of pain and you feel tender points in low back area, then maybe its an isolated backache.You may take ibuprofen 400mg Twice a day for it after meals, do some hot fomentation and avoid strain to back in meantime
