Hi,
Lower back pain and shoulder pain can have multiple causes, including muscle strain, injury, or inflammation. In your case, as your X-rays did not show any injury to your spine or shoulder bone, your pain may be caused by musculoskeletal issues. Your doctor has recommended exercises to help alleviate your pain, which is a good start.
However, your high creatinine levels are concerning and require further investigation. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles and filtered out of the body by the kidneys. Elevated creatinine levels can indicate kidney damage or dysfunction. The fact that your creatinine levels were previously elevated and have now increased again suggests that there may be an underlying kidney problem.
Your nephrologist has ordered additional tests, including kidney sonography, renal profile, and vitamin D and B tests. It is good that your kidney sonography came back to normal. However, your renal profile shows a serum creatinine level of 1.51, which is still elevated. It is important to continue following up with your nephrologist and following their treatment recommendations.
In terms of the medications prescribed to you, Nefromega tablets are used to support kidney function and protect against further damage. Sodamint tablets are commonly used to relieve symptoms of acid reflux and indigestion. Dolla tablet contains a combination of vitamins and minerals and is often prescribed as a nutritional supplement. D-well tablets contain vitamin D, which is important for bone health and immune function. Vitamin B is also important for maintaining overall health and is often recommended as a supplement.
It is important to continue taking your medications as prescribed by your doctor and to follow up with them for further evaluation of your kidney function and pain management. They may also recommend dietary changes or lifestyle modifications to support your overall health.
