Suggest Medication For Lower Back Pain

Hi I was given several medications for lower back pain. I don t remember what I can take together. I take 1 MG of clonazepam and 1 trazodone TAB 100MG to sleep. I have meloxicam 7.5 MG. tramadol HCL 50 MG. Cyclobenzapaprine 10MG, Gabapentin 100 MG, and methocarbamol 750MG which I don t want to take. I am not sure which I should take. Would it be safe to take the tramadol and the cyclobenzaprine 10 MG together with my sleep medication ??

Hi there.

It is better to be cautious of lower back pain as this could result from nerve pinching in the back. Get an Orthopaedician consult and your Doctor may advise you for X-ray or MRI as necessary to find the cause. If you have a pinched nerve, you could get other forms of pain management like Epidural steroid injection as advised by your Doctor. This will offer better long term relief and less need for oral medication. Avoid bending forwards, lifting heavy weights. Wear a lumbar belt for support whle sitting or standing. Apply pain killer muscle relaxant gel. Apply hot water bag carefully over the region of the pain as this helps to reduce pain and muscle spasm.
