Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My age is 26. I have been suffering from lower back pain for the last two years. I have been taking medicines for two years, but whenever I stopped medicines, the pain started again. Presently, I am taking these medicines, Amnurite 10, Pragabid forte, and Narcogin forte. I have also done MRI.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest the following,

Avoid lifting heavy weights.

  1. Avoid arching your back; bend your knees to pick up something from the floor.
  2. Avoid sitting for long hours.
  3. Avoid two-wheeler rides.
  4. Improve your posture while sitting.
  5. Try to get up from your chair every 20 minutes, take a quick walk around, and then continue working.
  6. Always sit on a chair with back support.
  7. Do not get up suddenly from a sleeping position. Instead, turn to the side and then get up.
  8. Take bed rest if severe pain.
  9. Do hot fermentations locally, over the affected area, at least twice daily.
  10. Apply Oxalgin gel (Diclofenac, Methyl Salicylate, and Menthol) locally twice daily.
    • Do not take these tablets if you have bronchial asthma.
    • It is best if you do the following,
    • Do physiotherapy.
    • McKenzie's back extension exercises.
    • Back core strengthening exercises.
    • Glutei strengthening exercises.
    • Passive straight leg raising exercises.
      • Swimming, yoga, and walking are suitable.
      • Jogging, running, and weight lifting may aggravate back problems.

      I hope you find it helpful.

      Kind regards.

These exercises can be done initially under a physiotherapist's supervision or learned at home. Start physiotherapy once the pain reduces. Only regular exercises can give results.

After the pain reduces, the following activities are good for you,

It would help if you took the following medicines,

1. Tablet Pregabalin (75 mg) once at night for ten days before food.

2. Tablet Ibuprofen (400 mg) twice for ten days after food.

3. Tablet Rabeprazole (20 mg) twice for ten days before food.

4. Tablet Shelcal (calcium) (500 mg) twice for 30 days before food.

5. Tablet Vitamin D (60 K) once daily for ten days, then once a month and 11 months.

Kindly consult with your specialist before taking these medications.
