Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain And Lumps Around The Spine
Hi yes I have been suffering with lower back pain for around a year now. I have what feel like small marbles either side of my lower spine. I m 34 but feel 84. Chiropractors just seem to suck me dry of Money but fail to resolve anything. I m not one to complain but I don t wanna live with this forever
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. It seems that you are having chronic lower back pain which has not been relieved with treatment received so far. Other treatments that may be recommended if your pain does not improve with medicine and physical therapy include: Epidural injection Spinal surgery, only if you have nerve damage or the cause of your pain does not heal after a long time Spinal cord stimulation, in which a small device sends electric current to the spine to block pain signals Some people with low back pain may also need Job changes. Small marble like lumps on either side of your lower spine could be either multiple neurofibromas or lipomas.Nature of lumps can however be assesses properly on physical examination only.
Regards
