Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

There can be degenerative wear of bones, muscles, ligament, and facet joint arthritis, due to deficiency of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin 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 vitamin B12 and vitamin 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.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vaibhav Gandhi
