Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history continuous right lower back pain, took steroid shots, does not allow coordinated movements of leg due to the pain, has to remain inactive.
Going on for three times in last year. Pain reliever and Prednisone helps' wants to know any other treatment besides therapy and strengthening exercises.
As per the history you have provided, this is related to the trauma due injury from work.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Clinical evaluation, examination and investigations like MRI of the back and spine, tests of blood, urine and stool.
The exact diagnosis alone can give the permanent solution.
Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises is the basic mainstay of the treatment. Besides these you can try Yoga, Meditation and acupressure. '
