Is Inmecin effective for back pain?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.

Yes, this medicine is good for pain relief and also to reduce inflammation. The probable diagnosis is mid-backache. I suggest you continue this medicine and also follow my suggestions for back pain:

1. Avoid lifting heavy weights.

2. Avoid arching your back. Instead, bend your knees to pick up something from the floor.

3. Avoid sitting for long hours.

4. Avoid two-wheeler rides.

5. Improve your posture while sitting.

6. Try to get up from your chair every 20 minutes. Take a quick walk around and then continue working. Always sit on a chair with back support.

7. Do not get up suddenly from a sleeping position. Rather turn to the side and then get up.

8. Take bed rest if there is severe pain.

9. Do hot fomentations locally over the affected area at least twice daily.

10. Apply Oxalgin gel (Diclofenac sodium, methyl salicylate, and menthol) for local application twice daily.

11. Take a tablet of Shelcal (Calcium and vitamin D3) 500 mg twice in the morning and night for 30 days before food, a tablet of vitamin D 60 k units once daily for ten days, then once a month for 11 months. Take these tablets only if you are not allergic to them. Do not take these tablets if you have bronchial asthma.

12. Do physiotherapy, Mckenzie back extension exercises, back core strengthening exercises, glutei strengthening exercises, and passive straight leg raising exercises. These exercises can be done initially under a supervision of a physiotherapist or learn to do it at home. Start physiotherapy once the pain reduces. Only regular exercises can give results.

This is a suggestion provided by me that stands subject to the actual examination of a report or image and is based entirely on inputs provided to me. It should be correlated with clinical findings. After the pain reduces, the following activities are good for you:

• Swimming, yoga, and walking are good.
• Jogging, running, and weight-lifting may aggravate back problems.

Followup in case of emergency.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
