How Can Chronic Backache And Arthritis Be Treated?
Hi I have chronic back pain from arthritis and I think I may have a pinched nerve as one of my legs are constantly numb and has been for many years now. My brother takes gabapentin and it really helps him. My chiropractor says that it is for seizures and can cause seizures and does not recommend that I take that drug. What are your thoughts?

Hello,
I need to know details of back pain like:
- Duration
- Region lower upper or mid back
- Relieved by rest or not
- Your age
- Night pain
- Morning stiffness
All this should be mentioned while giving history so that proper diagnosis and treatment can be prescribed. Random drug ingestion is not advisable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
