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.
i have been suffering from lower back pain for 3weeks now. the doctors have first thought it was kidney stones as there was blood in my urine but the scans didn t show anything. they then diagnosed me with a muscle spasm but the pain doesn t seem to be decreasing.
I will advise you to do MRI spine Due to compression of this nerve root there can be back pain associated with it.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. 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. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
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.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
