How Can Pain Due To Degenerative Disc Disease Be Treated?
I m suffering from an accident where my L5-S1 are showing signs of rapid degeneration. Comparing X-rays over the year. Now add in spinal stenosis. I m in pain. I refused pain killers in the past. Tried acupuncture, chiropracter, reiki. Physical therapy. Nothing works. Any ideas
As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aeclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. In severe cases steroid shots can be tried.
