Suggest Treatment For Persistent Back Pain

Hi, I am 29 years old male. I have upper back pain for the last 6 months. It started after my static car was hit at the back by another car at about 30 km/hour. There was apparent injury but my back started hurting. X-ray showed mild thoracic rotoscoliosis and no degenrative changes. what should I do to get rid of the problem because I am having many off days from work due to pain.

Hi,

I am sorry for the accident you had 6 month ago.

I am happy to know that no serious injury was apparent.

The persistent back pain is due to the hit and rotoscoliosis (which is a severe curvature of your spinal cord with rotation). You say that X-ray showed mild thoracic rotoscoliosis with no degenerative changes. Good that there is no degenerative changes, but rotoscoliosis itself can cause upper back pain.

I advise to consult further with orthopedic specialist in order to find the most adequate ways to help with rotoscoliosis and ease the pain.
Take OTC analgesic and can apply analgesic cream locally.

Wish fast recovery.
