Whatc Cause Severe Pain Lower Back With History Of Back Surgery?

My daughter is having excruciating pain on the left lower side of the back (she has had back surgery several months ago) and it is causing her leg to buckle when the pain hits. She is also having diareha (don't know if it's connected to that or not)

Hi,

I have read your query.

Since your daughter had back surgery previously.

You should get x-ray of affected area of back in AP and Lateral view done, send us report or discuss it with your doctor. Only then further management can be advised.

- Avoid heavy weight lifting pushing and pulling heavy objects, because it will further increase back pain.

- You can take medicine like painkillers + muscle relaxants by discussing it with your doctor. You may need stronger pain-killers which are available on prescription only. You can try ibuprofen or naproxen till you see your doctor.

- Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.

You are welcome to ask further health related queries.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
