Experiencing Severe Lower Back Pain, MRI Suggests Compression Fracture. Have Sinus Allergies, Take Rhinocort. Is This Related ?
I have been experiencing severe lower back pain. A recent MRI suggests a compression fracture in L5. It's been suggested that I may have Osteoporosis. There is no family history of this. I am 54 years old and had a hysterectomy in 2002. I've had chronic sinus allergies and have taken Rhinocort or some form of corticosteroid for over 20 years. I started using Vivelle Dot last October. Is it possible that the bone problems I am experiencing are related to the medications I'm taking? Also what are the non-surgical treatments for this back pain. I'm an active person, not overweight, and have done Pilates, Yoga and massage for many years. Since my recent diagnosis, i've been encouraged to rest. I'm losing my mind. Chronic pain, no sleep and no exercise!!

Hello friend,
Osteoporosis and compression fracture are common in people with poor Calcium content or Vit. D. Try to improve your calcium intake and expose to sun more than your usual exposures.
Your back ache may be associated with your psychological conflicts which remain unresolved. Your sleeplessness and the poor spirits show that. You can analyse them and share them with an expert Homoeopathic physician. Homoeopathy considers the mind and body as equally important both in health and in sickness.
I cannot say that the drugs you are taking are harmless. Therefore try to avoid all the chemical drugs and improve your nutritional status.
Your diagnosis is not to encourage you to abstain from exercises or to remain confined to your room. You should not lose your heart. Try to be positive.
Homoeopathy is a safe and simple method of treatment for rapid and permanent cure for your problems.
54 years is not an age for retiring. Your genetic traits, which made you sick prematurely, will be studied by an expert Homoeopathic physician and he will prescribe for YOU your genetic constitutional remedy.
Keep your spirits high. Be positive.
With best wishes,
Dr. C. J. Varghese
