Severe Back Pain. Undergone Physiotherapy, Severe Muscular Skeletal Pain After Taking Gemfos 35 Mg. Suggestions?
hello doctor,
i am 55 yr old and had approached a orthopaedic surgeon for my severe backache problem. After 4 sessions of physio therapy and some medication i was told to take gemfos 35mg. I took the first dose and after abot 12 hrs i got severe musculorskeletal pains. It is so bad that i cannot get up or bend or walk straight. Even heavy breathing or any kind of movement hurts me severely in the abdomen and chest region. It has been going on for the last 36 hrs and is still continuing. What should i do?

hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
gemfos does not cause muskuloskeletal pain
it strenghten your bone
follow instructions of taking gemfos[hope you know]
there might be lumbar disc prolapse leading to radicular pain
you need some neurotropics like pregabalin
and calcium suppliment with vit D
take rest , take some analgesic , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights
sit with taking support to your back
continue spine extension exersizes
you need MRI SPINE
for further query contact on drvaibhavg@yahoo.com

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that you have had an adverse reaction to Gelfos. You need to have rest. The effect is likely to wear off in a week. Take some mild pain killers and do a hot fomentation in lower back for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
