Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have left back pain. I have had it for 3 months and getting worse. Worse when I get up in the morning or lay down at night. But lately I feel it throughout the day. At time the pain is sharp. The np I saw felt it was a muscle strain but did no testing
Dear patient Pain in left side felt throughout the day is most likely muscular pain. Since it is for 3 months Bony pathology also needs to be ruled out.I would like to advise xray of lumbo sacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views. please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. meanwhile start tab myoril 4 mg twice a day with tab ultracet twice a day for 5 days. If xray report is abnormal please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area. Avoid forward bending and weight lifting.
