I am 27 and have osteoarthritis. I clean houses, bartend and am a nail tech, all of which are hard on my back. I did physical therapy, which didnt work. I went to pain management and the doctor prescribed me Lidoderm patches. My back hurt worse after using the patches. I feel like Im going crazy! What can I do for my pain? Aleve Tylenol and Asprins do not help at all! I was taking 4 aleve a day with no help!
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think You are suffering from chronic backache with osteoarthritis. Rest in position of relief, Cartilage D once daily, NUROKIND 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. You may be further investigated by MRI.  I think your query answered. Welcome to any follow up Que
