What Is The Treatment For Severe Back Pain?
So I am 21 years old, I have had back pain for almost a year now, it initially strated last fall when I herniated a disc, i traeted in with physical therpay and it resolved, but similar symptoms seem to keep coming back a couple months after and they are with me every day since then sometimes really bad and other times very miminal. just pain in the lower back mainly on left side that will continue on down to my fibula head where my gait is altered and my ROM is limited, ADLs are hard and I feel like an old man haha. Granted I have a slight LLD and my hamstrings are very tight, I have a lot of functional issued that need adressing but none too serious. Recently I have been having testicular discomfort and abnormal stools where they are blochy and it seems like papery like flakes coming off of the clumps stool, no whole normal stool is ever pushed out. I am worried that this may develope into something more serious...

hi
disc once herniated gets fibrosed the ring enclosing it weakens over time and some more part of disc may bulge out through the rentand cause fresh compression on nerve roots.Once fibrosis of this fresh part occurs, the pressure releases and and pain abates.Rest, physical therapy as before may be indicated again-see a orthopedic doctor and have MRI done.
As for stool problem, modifying diet with more of cereals,leafy green vegetables, fibre rich fruits and Isapgol husk(avalable in markets) at bed time daily will sort the stool consistency issue
testicular discomfrt if with some local pain and tenderness may be shown to a physician or a surgeon.Without examination of testes, no diagnosis can be made.,treatment obviously follows after knowing cause
best wishes,
