What Is The Cause Of Back Pain Despite Taking Medicine?
My doctor wants a second opion on my back. He gave me three names Dr. Moshitar, Landsdown; Dr. Yjar, Fairfax, Dr. Lotfi. Dr. Mazahery ordered a CT scan, (no MRI due to pacemaker), cannot determine my issue. I have now had 4 shots in spine and satcnerve with very little relief.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
You are suffering from what we call the industrial back ache. The first step is to ensure that you maintain an appropriate posture while working on the computer. Take frequent stretch breaks and drink lots of water. Discontinue using pillow while sleeping straight. Do not lift heavy objects, especially after bending down. Eat a healthy wholesome meal which should satisfy your minerals and proteins requirement.
The most essential and long lasting remedy is exercises. There are certain back strengthening and neck isometric exercises that you must learn from a physiotherapist and perform them at home or work whenever possible. You can also undergo a weeks session of traction at your physiotherapist's clinic
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
