Suggest Alternate Remedy For Severe Back Pain

I have been taking p/forte & Valium for 12 yrs after a back injury. With physio and other doc advice it is easier to manage every year. I have a nerve block done once a yr and that has been a breakthrough. However, at times I have to up doses on meds ( just got back from 8 days overseas ). I can enjoy a reasonable quality of life by upping meds but it means when period is over I have to cut down again, little pain level. It s a week returning from trip and am taking 1x 5 mg val & 1x p/f three times a day. Not sure whether to just cut down on one and then the other or both a same time. If able to cut p/f down to low dose after about a week back pain is severe and have to do about 2 days of heavy meds. Not sure if my body is really in need or a withdrawal symptom . Thoughts ??

Hello,

Thank you for contact us,

But Now a days its mostly the common problems in humans.

Mainly its due to inactivity of muscles it.

Today every one having totally sitting life as no work at all that could be count as a body exercise due to that problem occurs.


For lower back Pain you should follow instructions described below -

To take massage with hot or cold water, Some people take cold water and some take hot for massage.

Best medicine for Lower back pain is Rest.

Resting for some days will heal the muscles which could be damage because of jerk. Muscles need some time to heal so give them time for the same.

If pain is because of any accident or something big issue than you have to concern good doctor for the same.

Other exercise should be done as doctors suggest after checking you physically.

Hope it will work for your back pain.

Good luck, Take care.

Thanks & regards,
