Suggest Treatment For Constant Lower Back And Neck Pain
My health is very complicated I have one kidney and 4 years ago I had spinal fusion. Now I have 3 floating ribs and lower back and neck pain constantly. I try to not let the pain get in the way with daily life, I dont really take medication for the pain I just put up with it. What I would like to know is if it would be ok to become pregnant?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have constant lower back and neck pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like disc problem , cervical spondylosis , muscle strain or wrong working posture . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to neck and lower back , do not work for long time in one posture and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon if condition doesn't get better . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with vitamin supplement . Doctor may recommend physical therapy and particular stretching exercises .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
