Hi so i have this really bad pain that i get in the middle of my back everytime i cough or sneeze. It hurst so bad i have to round my back every single time and that helps just a bit. However, i must tell you I do smoke marijuana and i use a vaporizor. I dont smoke nor have i ever smoked tabacco. I was really sick about 3 months ago but never went to the doctors because i have no insurance. can you please tell me what it might be and what i should do. thanks
Hello, I have studied your case. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include-Spine extension exercises, lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg. Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inches off the ground and supposition for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. If MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution. Hope this answers your query.
