Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

Do you have back pain that radiates to your calf or foot ?

Any unexplained weight loss ?

Since the pain is not relieved much on taking medication or is possible that you could be having slipped disc which is pinching the nerves in the back. This will cause radiating pain to the calf and foot along with tingling and numbness.

Avoid lifting heavy weight and bending forwards. Start fit with regular exercise and healthy diet. Avoid smoking.

You can wear a lumbar belt for relief.

Kindly consult your Orthopaedic surgeon to rule out the same and also look for other causes of this problem.

Thanking you.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
