Hi doctor, I am having severe pain in the lower back, more on the right side. I am not able to bend front and my right leg is aching continuously. I am suffering from back pain for last 6 to 7 years and sometimes, it is severe. I had to take bed rest for a week, but I had never taken any medicine. A few months ago, I had the same kind of pain because of lifting a bucket full of water and that time I had taken medicines. Ultracet twice in a day, Dolonex Rapid 20 mg once a day and Myoril 8 mg once a day. Now, I am facing the same problem for the last few days and since yesterday I am taking the same medicines. But, the pain has not relieved completely. Please tell me the appropriate medicine and any test if needed. One more thing I want to know is can this be a neurological case? Is it sciatica?
