What Causes Painful Spine?

My spine is very painful, it's tender to touch, also my neck to lower back hurts
Not sure if I,m getting a hunch back but it's very uncomfortable to sit down or stand, I have tried back patches to ease the pain or take co codamal, paracemantal or neurofen

Hello,

Such pain, not relieved by medications, can be due to disc prolapse. I will suggest you get an MRI of the spine done to confirm the diagnosis and get further treatment done.


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

Regards,
Dr. Neeraj Kumar
