How Can Pain In The Lower Back Be Treated?

Hi, I have been having lower to mid heith back pain. I started with chrocpracic (start 1990, ended 2016, with a move to Wyoming). I have used many to all of the over the counter drugs that are designed to help or release some kind of medicine to duel or relax the muscle. I have seen two doctors and a nerve specialist. Physical therapy has not helped, and I feel that I m in more pain coming out then what I was when I went in. Is there a pain med that might work?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In your case with persistent back pain of more than 20 yrs now - there has to be a cause. I would suggest that first you should try to find a cause by getting MRI and Bone Densitometry Dexa 2 sites. I would suggest that you should start a program of exercises to build up the muscles in your back. Do not just depend on medicines.

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