Suggest Remedy For Back Pain And Depression

What are some simple steps that a person can take to cope with a loved one who has a chronic back ailment and takes powerful medicines to cope with depression ? Also, what is high blood pressure and what impact does the combination of these ailments produce in clinical studies. She seems to have excellent medical care. She has multiple therapist for her back and pain management. In short, my worry is what are the long term affects on the off-injured partner s physical and psychological state of mind from exposure to such demonstrative suffering.

Hello,

I have studied your case and reports with diligence.

Osteoporosis may be associated leading to diffuse pain in back.
Periodic flare up of arthritic pain can be due to seasonal changes, due to excess activity, lack of exercises, excessive travelling.

Check your bone strength with DEXA SCAN and you can start medication according to level of osteoporosis,
And also check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
You can reduce pain by doing regular exercises and medication.

I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy and exercises as my patients find much relief by these therapies.
You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case you need to take diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.

Along with the pain you have depressive symptoms as well and that needs to be taken care of. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a good option.
