Hiya, Please i have just noticed that I have got a strange plain below my back on my right side very close to my bom and each time it takes place it makes me stop walking and I will regain my balance instantly! so i was wondering what would have caused this and this does happen 3times in a day or 5times and its only started 5days ago.

Hi welcome to hcm
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of Lumbar spondylolisthesis.I advise you to get an MRI spine,complete blood picture,ESR,Urine culture immediately to confirm the diagnosis. You may need to get an chest x ray and AFB for sputum analysis to look for any tubercular foci.Drugs like Voveran twice daily for 10 days along with Inj.Ceftriaxone 1gm once daily for 3 days immediately by consulting your doctor. Avoid excess strain.Physiotherapy is promising.Bed rest for 3 months will be helpful.Water bed for sleeping with cushions is helpful.If still symptoms persist you may need surgical approach like Lumbar discectomy.Consult your neuro surgeon for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you
