Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain
Question: I am suffering with pain in my back from past 3 years. While shifting a newly bought washing machine I got injured , there was a light snap voice that came from my back and since then pain has never gone. I have tried everything .. accpuntre .. physiotherpay, massages and exercises told my multiple doctors across XXXXXXX . but still not much impact. I have got multiple MRI done so far .. but they only talk about bulge at l4 -l5 .. some doctors say it is signifcant .. some say its not. I really don't know what is the actual cause of my pain. Is there anything other than an MRI done which can tell me the root cause of this pain ?
