Suggest Treatment For Arthritis In The Lumbar Region
Mostly age related changes.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query and X rays. These are mostly arthritis due to ageing. Anti inflammatory drugs can irritate your bowels and damage kidneys. So take it when you have more discomfort or pain.
There are so many things you can do. Avoid lifting excess weight. Avoid sitting in wrong postures. Avoid sitting for long time continuously as it can give excess stress on lumbar spine For sleeping use hard mattress. Using orthopaedic pillow under neck and place a pillow under knee while sleeping supine and placing pillow between knee while sleeping side ways is also good. You can also do hot fomentations or warm compress on back.
Physiotherapy like TENS , ultrasound , massage is also good. You can also do back muscle strengthening exercises.
Check your vitamin D levels in blood. If it is low then taking supplements of it and calcium is also good.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
Thanks
You can continue playing Golf.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome again.
Thank you for your follow up.
You can continue playing Golf. Give a short break now. You can also go for some physiotherapy sessions. Start with back muscle strengthening exercises. This will help give support to spine and avoid further wear and tear.
You should also warm up properly before playing golf. This will minimise possibility of injury on joints and muscles.
You should do exercises for lower back , upper back , arms , shoulders and sides to strengthen the muscles of those areas.
Use proper shoes ,Also if possible use light weight graphite shafts and perimeter weighted heads which helps in absorbing shocks.
