Is It Advisable To Use Trio Heat Ice And Ibuprofen For Back Condition?

Hello! I am a 29 year old female with a history of back and neck injures due to a few car accidents. Yesterday I did some heavy lifting (I know I m not supposed to, but the work needed finished and I am not someone who lets things ride.). This morning I got out of the shower and noticed a strange sensation in my left back, left leg and left foot. No pain like usual, but instead the left side of my body felt warmer than the right. I think it might be some numbness? This has been constant throughout the day and now My left foot is tingling but still no pain. I ve been on my feet all day as I am a 4th grade teacher. Is this something I should be concerned with? Or will it sort itself out with the usual trio heat ice and ibuprofen ?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
Considering your case you might be having disc prolapse with nerve root compression. This might be due to weight lifting. I would advise Xray of lumbosacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. MRI of lumbosacral spine with screening of whole spine is required to assess level of disc prolapse and severity of prolapse. Visit radiology center nearby you and get it done. Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting. Start taking tab diclofenac plus thiocolchicoside combination twice a day for 5 days. Take tab pregabalin plus methylcobalamin one at bedtime for 10 days. This will relieve you of tingling and numbness. If mri report is abnormal need to consult expert spine surgeon with report.
