What Causes Severe Pain In The Spine And Hips?
Why do my vertebrae hurt so bad? I have extreme, sharp, shooting pain in my spine and hips, and its making it really difficult to breathe. Pain has been increasing for a few days. I have been consistently icing, stretching, taking tylenol and Ibuprofen, applying menthol to my back, and trying to self massage. I also do have osteoporosis but have been taking my Alendronate (Fosamax).

As per your history, it may due to peripheral neuropathy or osteoporosis. Kindly do EMG NCV and MRI back after consultation. You can take tab. pregabalin tab. multivatamins, tab tylenol or tab. aceclofenac after consultation. Continue physiotherapy as advised. Take care.
