Good Morning Doctor, I am 54 years of age, with height 185cm. and weight 85kg. Till 45 years of age I was mainntainig very good physical fitness but subsequently I developed the problem of back ache lumber 5 region. I have not taken any permanent treatment and managing with pain relieving ointments. Now, it appears that problem has aggravated. Also, for the last few years I am doing sedentary kind of job, may be I am suffering because of long sittings. I do not wish to go to x-ray machine or any kind of scanning because they project minor problems in such way as if, their patient is suffering with some complicated problem. Please advice some basic treatment, probably an experienced doctor has charismatic qualities of diagnosis and further the line of treatment.
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having degenerative changes in your lower spines giving this problem. Due to lack of physical exercises and having over weight this problem is precipitated. Go for back extension exercises daily for 10 minutes in the morning and evening. Reduce weight. Take some calcium and multivitamin supplements. Make a habit of having slow walking exercise daily. Ok and take care.
