Cause of body pain and muscle weakness after delivery?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Pain started in my back after 2 months of delivery but now it is all over the body majorly at right side. Currently, having depression medication for the past six months and my doctor adviced me to consult a neurologist as physical pain and muscle weakness is not going away.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read carefully your question and reviewed your X-ray report. Your X-ray shows a normal vertebral column, just muscle spasm (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Coming to this point, I would recommend performing regular physical activity to help reinforce your back muscles and help relieve the muscle spasm. I would also recommend taking a muscle relaxant (Flexeril) to help reduce the muscle spasm. If this does not help, I would suggest considering also fibromyalgia as a possible cause underlying the muscle pain. It is also necessary checking vitamin D plasma levels and magnesium plasma levels for possible deficiency. Another treatment option to consider would be Gabapentine or Doluxetine.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
