Back pain management resourse? |
my back is very sore, pills walking medicne does not work i feel i need pain mangement help. any one have any suggestiona? If you've been to the doctor and he/she has ruled out any serious or immediate threat to your health, I would like to suggest chiropractic care as a treatment option. When the spinal bones (called vertebrae) are misaligned, they can pinch the nerves that run out between them and cause pain, numbness/tingling, or any type of general malfunction to that nerve's corresponding body part. Herniated disks also place this kind of pressure on nerves, which can be very painful. Chiropractic works to restore the proper positioning of the spine to remove any such pressure on the nerves. This is done via adjustments, which are safe, non-invasive, and don't involve drugs that only mask the symptoms of pain but do nothing to correct the actual problem. If you do decide to see a chiropractor, ask family and friends for recommendations, visit a few offices, and choose the doctor that you are most comfortable with. I can't guarantee a cure, but chiropractic has tremendous success in helping people with back pain. Best of luck to you! Source(s): currently a chiropractic student If we are talking about back pain that radiates down you legs it probably has to do with a herniated disc. The herniation is rubbing a nerve in your back and the nerve is responding with a lot of pain and tight siezed muscles. There is nothing really that will cure this except time. You still need to keep moving but do no lifting or pivoting your back to undue any progress you are making. Take your painkillers be careful and wait. You don't give enough information , but a terrific medication for nerve pain is trileptal. Its not a narcotic and it controlls back pain really well for some. But it depends on what your problem is thats causing it. See an orthopedic doctor, once you have a proper diagnosis you can work from there. For over the counter, try alleve, which is an anti-inflammatory and pain killer , then alternate ice and heat, ice to help with the inflammation and heat to get rid of muscle spasm. Nurse Lotus Ask your primary care physician for a pain management specialist. Sometimes an anethesiologist can give you injections called epidurals to block the nerves in your back. Back pain when extreme can be paralysing you will hardly be able to work or rest, quality of life can get very low. "Pain Management" is not at the root, you first would have to find out precisely the cause of the back pain which sometimes is easier said than done. Dont just go to one specialist, they can be wrong a surprising number of times, especially with a back pain problem. Also go to a physiotherapist that can assess your overall fitness and perhaps identify something that can escape an especialist. Once the cause is determined you will need the "roll back" process which is rehabilitation and where pain management will be adequately handled. In the mean time the present problem at hand may be back pain and no certain diagnosis. While looking for the answers you will also need pain management. Avoid at all costs injections that in general are a mix of cortizone and anesthetic because the root of the problem could get aggravated if there is an error in the diagnosis. In general terms your body will give you some answers, follow their lead. Of course, if you have not already done, move your body along recommended guidelines to ease stress on the back, you can find guidelines on the web. Get adequate rest, give your back extra rest periods, try to avoid pills. Make use of hot or cold packs, perhaps massage sessions, although you do have to be careful with the type of massage as it could worsen certain situacions, your body reaction serves as a good guide. If your back problem is a long term problem your rehabilitation may take also a long time. Avoid quacks. Good Luck. |
