What Are The Treatments For Back Pain And Dehydration?

Hi doctor! Lately I hurt my back so I went to a chiropractor and I felt worst but as the days went by I started feeling better, but I also noticed that I was very thirsty. I've never been dehydrated I drink enough water each day with all my meals so I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm really starting to worry from how thirsty I am, I even wake up at night to drink water, which had never happened before.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the back pain and thirst. If you are so concerned about how much water you drink, I will suggest that you get tested for diabetes mellitus. A simple fasting blood sugar would be able to tell whether you are have this condition or not. Depending on the result, you may need to be investigated for other possible causes of exaggerated thirst. Do you also urinate more than usual? Are temperatures the same or hotter than usual?


I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
