Hello Doc,My mom is suffering from severe back ache , more like muscle pulls . She is not able to sleep or change postions due to this . The pain subsides for a little while leaving a shadow and pops up again . Initial treatment suggested this was because of gas. Is there any exercise that she can follow to get rid of this pain . Please help!
Hello, Thanks for writing to us. The pains that you have described are likely to be due to a muscular pain most likely caused by a wrong body posture. Taking mild painkillers and muscle relaxants will bring a short term relief. Regular exercise will be helpful. I suggest her to try back strengthening exercises by extension of the back muscles which can be taught by your Orthopedic or Physiotherapist. This will help to relieve the possible muscle spasm which causes the pain. Hope this helps you. Regards.
