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 am a 60 yr old male 6ft at 13 stone in weight. Very painful lower back pain, where certain movements can cause a severe pain, virtually bringing me to my knees. Looking at the front of my body in the mirror I see that it has become lopsided in that on hip looks higher than the other, even though I am stood normally... as if my body has been pulled out of shape while this sympton persists. Is this likey to be a muscle or spinal problem?
I have studied your case. Due to compression of spinal nerve root there can be pain in your back and leg.
I will advise you to do MRI spine For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
