Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Good evening. I am trying to figure out why my back keeps flaring up. I was diagnosed with a lumbar sprain 3 weeks ago and treated with 2 courses of steroids and naproxen and it felt better and out of nowhere I am down with my back. Would a lumbar sprain do this or should I be concerned with a herniated disk? The pain radiates down my right leg causing weakness.
