Pain In Middle Back, Diagnosed Stuck Vertebrae, On Nurofen, Exercise. Continue Treatment?

I have been diagnosed with a stuck vertabrae. I have been in pain for over a month now. I have been taking nurofen which helps a little. What is my prognosis - will it get better on its own? Also should I keep taking nurofen as the packet advises to only take for 3 days. The physio has given me some exercises to do which help temporarily.
The affected area is middle back right side.

Hi and thanks for the query,

The treatment in your case I am afraid shall require a multidisciplinary team. your orthopedic surgeon and a physiotherapist should be enough to coordinate the treatment.

I suggest a control X ray of the spine , a CT scan , an MRI for reevaluation. Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, especially if you do not have a past history of gastric ulcers, analgesics, morphines in rare cases associated by an appropriate physiotherapeutic plan should be enough, in my humble opinion, for a beginning.

I suggest you concert with your family physician. Kind regards,

Bain LE, MD.
