Suggest Treatment For Spondylolysis And Pain Spread To Shoulders And Fingers
I had a by-pass surgery on February 2012. Since then I am advised to be on medication with carvedilol 3.125 mg 1.0-1, eco spirit 75 mg 1-0-0 and atorvastatin 5mg 0-0-1. I am taking these medications regularly. I also suffer from sponiolysis since 40 years at the nape of the neck.physio-therapy and collar have been ineffective. The pain has aggravated all over the back spreadinding to the shoulders and fingers. I am 84 years old and I keep my physical activities and also do walking for about 50 minutes daily without fail. Recently I went through annual medical check up at Colubia-Asia hospital at Mysore-India which included Eco cardio, ECG, and T-MOBILE test. All the tests proved normal and my B.P. Is 128/80 and I am not Diabetic. However during daily walking I get slight back pain which disappears after 5 minutes. I related this to my Doctor who prescribed Korandil-5mg 1-0-1. Please let me know whether this prescription is essential because the back pain may due to spondiyolises.I want your expert opinion. Rajagopal.
