Question : i am getting back pain from last one week,i dont kw the reason, plz suggest me some good medicine
Dear Mr. XXXXXXX
The description of your pain is not detailed enough to suggest a direct diagnosis.
Was there any precipitating factor? - Like lifting a heavy weight / unusual posture or exercise?
Is this the first time? Or, you have had it before?
Do you have any other problem - now or before?
I presume a 'no' for all these - in view of the short duration and young age.
The pain will improve with NSAID (ibuprofen, diclofenac, celecoxib and so on. Sometimes they can cause stomach irritation in some people - Take them after food. Simple Paracetamol alone and or in combination could also help.
At times, a muscle relaxant - like chlorzoxazone or methocarbamol - is added.
You can get a proper prescription from your General Physician.
Good posture at work and home are important in the long term. Yoga can help.
Go for massage, fomentation and physiotherapy - if severe.
Good luck
