Brief Answer:
Several points
Detailed Answer:
we cannot. prescribe diagnose or treat people we are not seeing.
but we can give General information.
basically everyone gets back pain mostly it isn't from a disk.
either way it is intermittent and people take meds for a bit...stop...and restart.
and it is quite normal, acceptable and safe.
the issue on a pain is if something bad causes it.
if it is new worse or with new symptoms especially loss of strength or sensation that could be bad and needs attention.
the same thing over and over again is less of an imediate worry
and a good reason to restart meds
