Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my upper back is in pain.I have disc disease.I take lower back injections for 4 years now and physical therapy.legs hurt also.what is going on?I go to a neurologist.my pain is radiating down my left side leg which my doctor knows about.feels like a nerve.From the base of the neck to the middle of the back feels like spasmas. Help. Do I need pain management or surgery
Based on the history you have shared, using OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or Ibuprofen can be helpful. if pain persists more potent analgesics like Tramadol or Gabapentin may be helpful.
Duloxetine or Carbamazepine may be helpful as nerve pain suppressants. Neurosurgeon review for surgical options may be sought.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
