General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I am sorry for a backache you are experiencing. It could be due to spinal cord problems. So an x-ray of the back is recommended to determine the right diagnosis.

Apply analgesic patches or cream. Back exercises can also help relieve the pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
