Have Lower Back Pain. Used Relief Back Patches And Max Freeze. What To Do?
I have a partner who has extreme back pain in the lower back- we have relief back patches one night, max-freeze two nights and the chiropratic doctor this morning-I have some medical knowledge but certainly don't know what to do at this point. My somewhat knowledge tells me-it's his kidneys. thank you
There are numerous causes for low back pain. The commonest causes are * any problems related to the lumbosacral spine like disc disease,lumbar strain, a nerve irritation, facet joint problem , spinal stenosis , inflammatory arthritis etc * Intra abdominal causes like Kidney related conditions, liver problems, pancreatic problems etc * Pelvic inflammatory conditions in female patients * Vascular causes
So, a detailed physical examination and appropriate investigations are necessary to establish the correct diagnosis.
In the meantime, use some analgesics/ muscle relaxant preparations along with ice packing of the affected area once in 2 hours to alleviate the pain.
Kidney infections, stones, and traumatic bleeding of the kidney (hematoma) are frequently associated with low back pain. Diagnosis can involve urine analysis, sound-wave tests (ultrasound), or other imaging studies of the abdomen.
