Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I always feel my body needs to be stretched. My back starts paining when I hold a baby. What should I do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This could be due to a number of causes including potassium, calcium, and vitamin B12 deficiencies. So I would recommend that you get a blood test for their levels or take multivitamin supplements three times per week. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. If the pain does not resolve then get a CT (computed tomography) scan of your lumbar vertebrae to exclude disc prolapse.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
