Have Back Problem, Taking Co-codamol, Naproxen, Getting Burning Sensation. What Could Be The Cause?
I have a back problem for which I have been taking co-codamol for years and take 1 in morning and 2 at night as they are 15/500mg tablets, I also take Naproxen 250mg twice a day but this week I have had a burning sensation down the left side of my back. Any advice would be welcome

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The burning sensation on the left side of the back is likely to be due to a mild nerve root compression in the area. This can happen due to a vitamin B 12 deficiency also.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
