Suggest Remedies For Persistent Back Pain
My husband has lived with lower back pain for several years. He has within the last year been thru surgery on his neck due to disk issues. He has also had the radial head in his right arm several years ago but is now also having much pain in his arm. He did have his nerves burned in his back years ago. Last surgeon he saw wouldn t do anything for him. He struggles to make it thru each day and the pain seems to be getting worse. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,
Most probably it is a spine-related problem probably a prolapsed disc or nerve compression.
As first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI spine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
