Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have tiny pea size pellets all over my lower back and left hip. They are quite painful when pushed on--even using mild pressure. I also have had pain that radiates on my left back side running down to my knee. I have been to the doctor, have had physical therapy for 2 months and am waiting for results on a MRI. I haven't been able to run since May. Just wondering if you have heard of anyting like this. I also used to get shooting pains while sitting. My PT thought I shredded my piriformis muscle but therapy only helped for a bit and pain would start up again. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you your are suffering from probably disc prolapse. It can be confirmed by MRI scan. There are two treatment options.First option is rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend),neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeperazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics .Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy). You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
