General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I would like to suggest some test.
1. MRI of the back
2. Electromyography of back muscle
3. Blood Routine test including Blood Urea Nitrogen, potassium level, calcium level

Meanwhile you can take Ibuprofen for pain.
If this does not suffice you, please go for this
Tramadol: 50 orally every 6 hours as needed for pain

Also, follow these guidelines
Rubbing an anti-inflammatory and analgesic gel
Use of an ice pack to relieve pain
Proper sleeping positions that cause less strain on the spine
Learning what triggers the back pain and alleviating it
Use of a hot compress to minimize pain
Rest from straining activities

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
