Suggest Medication For Left-sided Back Pain While Having DVT In Right Calf Muscles

I have hurt my lower left side of my back. I saw a chiropractor yesterday, but the pain is worse. He gave me a cold pack to use, and said not to use the heating pad I have been using. I am a heart patient, widow maker survivor, had a DVT in my right calf a month ago. I am afraid of using the wrong type of pain pills, and am really suffering.

Hi,

The back pain may not be related to DVT and may be due to some spine related problems like IVDP.

Consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

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