Im currently having extreme lower back pain. Ive had this pain for the past 3 months and I cant bring myself to sit in the doctors office. I am a dance teacher and I have had extreme limitations in my normal classes. Sometimes I have to stay seated the entire class because I cant stand up. The pain keeps me up at night and Im having trouble getting around. Help?
Fellow backache may be due to many reasons like musculoskeletal reasons, pelvic pathology etc. You need proper clinical examination and routine investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver function test, renal function test, urine RE/ME, ultrasound of abdomen, X-ray L/S spine (AP/Lateral view), Thyroid profile, serum calcium and vitamin D level. MRI of L/S spine can be done after evaluation. Pain may be due to intervertebral disc prolapse in lumbosacral region. Proper treatment depend upon findings. You may need to take few medicines and physiotherapy. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
