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.
I had acute back pain 2 weeks ago and now I have pain in butt and left leg. I thought the back pain was due to strain because I lifted something not very heavy. I went to the dr and had steroid injn and muscle relaxant. still the pain in the butt is not gone. ph
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, this could be due to muscular spasm or if the history of weight lift is there then this could be due to spinal disk disease, in either case pain can be managed with the medicines given below 1) Tab Acetaminophen 2) Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release 3) Tab Chlorzoxazone these cab be taken once in day, no need to go for steroid, hope this information helps, take care.
