Hi i am Hareharan , i am having back pain went to hospital,consulted with doctor,he suggested to go for MRI scan,after the scan report came it was seen that there is slight displacement in bone D12,hence adviced me to take rest (Lying completely flat on the floor) for 3 weeks and has given LYRICA (Pfizer) tablet twice a day (1-0-1) for 3 weeks. I am in the 3rd week starting but still i have the pain,can it be eradicated completely.Please help me out
Complete bed rest for a certain period of time is the initial mode OG treatment in low back pain. He has done right job. You have to consider that low back pain is not always totally curable condition. Pain can be controlled by medication, exercise, weight reduction, lifestyle modification etc. And if the condition is not improving and impairing your activities of daily living then you have options like epidural injection and ultimately surgery.
