Healthy 31 year old, 115 pounds. I have a 15-month old who weighs 25 pounds and I carry her on my left side 90% of the time. I have inner chest and back pain on the left side thats pretty constant -- are there stretches/exercises I can do to alleviate this?
Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. I t may be due to vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. Back exercises, Cartilage D once daily, NURSING GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is lower than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. You need to do MRI TO RULE OUT other causes. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
