Suggest Remedy To Relieve Pain In Back

I bent slightly to adjust my shoe this morning and felt an excruciating sharp pain on the left side of my lower back. Feels like a pinched nerve.. I'm still in pain and it's difficult to get up from my chair and walk.. I'm moving very slow today. It's extremely uncomfortable to sit in my office chair. I've already taken 3 ibuprofens. What can I do to make this go away? I'm a 38yr old femail, 5'4" tall, weigh 135lbs, moderately active...

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you probably are suffering from lumbar 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),NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics . This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months.Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy). 2nd possiblity is simple musclar pain .For this simple rest and analgesic for 4-5 days will suffice. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
