Hello and Welcome to HCM,

Thanks for writing to us.

According to the clinical history provided the back pain could be part of a mechanical back pain complex of symptoms. This mechanical back pain is caused due to bad posture at work, long work-hours in particular position, lack of proper sleep or healthy diet as well.

One must also rule out inflammatory disorders, for which I recommend you to get a X-ray of your spine after consulting with an Orthopedician. MRI can be taken in case you have any nerve compression symptoms or as deemed necessary by your Orthopedician.

After a thorough physical examination by your Orthopedician, you may be prescribed pain killers and/or muscle relaxants which should give you relief
Avoid weight bearing exercises. Do only mild aerobics which does not put your back to strain. You can discuss about this with your Gym instructor.

Hope this helps you.

Wishing you good health...

Regards.

Dr Saurabh Gupta.

Homeopath Dr. C. J. Varghese's  Response
Hello friend Alam,
If you want to cure your backache, you have to take Homoeopathic treatment. Exercise and yoga may help but curing is different.
The medicine has to be for the patient and not for the back pain. When you take a medicine for relieving the pain in the back you are not curing the patient who had the back pain but you are relieving the pain only. Pain is there in your back because you are sick. Therefore YOU need to be cured. Please do not think that you are sick because you have got pain in the back.
The approach of Homoeopathy is different. It is individualistic. That means yourself as a person with the mind and body will be considered to select your individualistic remedy to cure you permanently.
Therefore stop all pain killers, approach an expert Homoeopath for treating YOU first and then your pains will disappear.
Hope you have understood the approach of Homoeopathy as a different one from the conventional medicine.
Please approach an expert Homoeopath at the earliest.
No problem doing gymnastics and taking Homoeopathic medicines. Follow the instructions by an expert trainer
With Best wishes,
Dr. C. J. Varghese
Homoeopath

back pain may be due to any pathology of bones, disks between vertebrae , ligaments or muscles around back
