Suggest Treatment For Back Pain After Repeated Injuries

I believe when I was a small child, that when my friend pulled me feet first off of the gymnasiam stage and falling down on the hard floor that I started this problem. Then about 11 years ago, I dropped out of the bus with a 12 pack of cans on my hip and I think I may have done more damage. Anyway, recently, I slipped and turned awkwardly and really am paying for this now. I am 60 years old and some days are just not easy to sit in an upright position...other than this dilemma, I am in pretty good health and expect to live a long time.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

since you suspect you had many falls in the past and the recent incident is bothering you more than I will say, kindly get an MRI of the whole spine done once which will help to come closer to the actual injury and any old injuries if troubling will also be visible

based on that the treatment of choice can be made. also you can do hot water fermentation and relax the spinal muscles.

you can meet a spine specialist and get checked as I mentioned an MRI will also give a good input. if things are all normal you can discuss with the spine specialist about undergoing physical therapy session. The physical therapist will help you in the form of regaining strength in the muscles which will help to improve your functionality again.

with the grace of God I wish you a long healthy life.
