Spine Surgeon,  's  Response
Thanks for the query. Medicines are never a permanent solution to the back problem. First of all it needs to establish what is the problem? is it muscle pain? is it discogenic back pain or pain from the facet joints in spine? I would suggest to get a MRI to diagnose the problem. In case of severe pain we give short course of pain medicine with physio modalities. Once the pain level come down we gradually start back muscle stretching and exercise. In case of spondylitis regular exercise is the way to stay pain free.Thanks.
