Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain After Lifting Heavy Weights

Dear Dr. I have been sufffering from pain in the abdominal area which started 6 months ago after I lifted a heavy weight. First the pain was in the back (middle of the spinal code) and from next day it radiated through abdomin. I consulted diffrent doctors and taken anti-inflamatory and pain killing tablets. In the beginning the pain was severe and now it is tolerable but getting severe while i am sitting for long time. presently, I m taking Zerolol TH once in a day and get relief. Is this recommended for long term use? Could you please prescribe a suitable treatment to get complete relief from this pain.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for a proper history and query.

You history is so specific that I can tell you that you most probably have a herniated disc in the spine compressing on the spinal cord, causing the local pain as well as the referred pain to the abdomen.
The history of 6 months supports this.

Zerodol should not be taken for such a long time as it may cause gastric ulcers and related GI disturbances. You should take Ranitidine along with Zerodol to avoid its complications.

I would advise you to take an opinion of a Neuro-Surgeon (not the Neurologist) and go for MRI of the spine and get operated if indicated so.

I find this answer helpful
