Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain
ive been having lower back pain the past few months. Its been annoying but i didnt bother doing anything about it, for the past few days its gotten quiet worse. I was given anti inflammatories from my school doctor but after taking them i get bad stomach problems leading to me going to the washroom multiple times. I cant deal with the pain as its gotten worse and worse. What should i do?

Hello,
I have studied your case and reports with diligence.
Can be degenerative wear of bones, muscles, ligament and facet joint arthritis, due to deficiency of calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12.so supplements of these nutrients can relieve pain.
Check your bone strength with DEXA SCAN and you can start medication according to level of osteoporosis,
And also check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy and exercises as my patients find much relief by these therapies.
You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case you need to take diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.
