Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain
I am in my mid 50's. I had some lower back pain from sitting on the plane for 12 hrs and got up only once bec my child was sleeping on me. When I returned home for 1 mth I had off and on LBPain. X-ray was clear and had 5 sessions 15 mins each of heat waves therapy at the Physiotherapist. Now after another week since LBpain was gone..I have a sharp achey pain through my right leg. Not sooo painful but like an electric constant bone ache. tolerable but irritating. What is the cause how to relieve. Many thanks

Hi, WELCOME to healthcare magic. Treatment of chronic pain is back exercises and analgesics (diclofenac sodium 50 mg three times a days after meals).Cause of low back pain may be low vit D3. So get vit D3 checked, and if is low then get its supplements .I think it will be of some use of you.
