Extreme Lower Back Pain, Taking Hydrocodone. Permanent Cure?
Hi I have extreme lower back pain on my right side just above the button area and am in need of something for the pain. I currently had been taking hydrocodone 10/325 and naproxen and this seems to help with the pain. Was wondering if you could suggest anything else and was needing a prescription refill for both. Can you help me with this? Thanks Mike Duff

hallo dear friend ,thanks for writing to HCM
i have studied your case
do you had any injury to back
what is your age ?
there might be lumbar disc prolapse leading to radicular pain
you need some neurotropics like methylcobalamine
take rest , take some analgesic , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights
sit with taking support to your back
continue spine extension exersizes
physiotherapy - SWD ,IFT WILL HELP
you need MRI SPINE
for further query contact drvaibhavg@yahoo.com
