My mother is suffering from back pain
From last week my mother is suffering from back pain we visited doctor's clinic but their medicine did not react we need some help.
First we need to see atleast the xray of the patient to check for any mal alignments of lumbar spine or some disc derangements. A full routine schedule would also be helpful for the appropriate treatment.
Till then you can give hot water fomentation with hot wet towel atleast twice a day and lie down on the back with pillow under the knees for atleast 15 minutes which can help your mother to relax her low back muscles.
Next Steps
Approach a nearest physiotherapist for a confirmed diagnosis and start the treatment asap.
Health Tips
Dont bend forward to pick up any thing and try to change position every 15 minutes. Example: if she is sitting then getup and walk few steps then again she can continue sitting similarly if she is standing for more than 15 minutes then she can sit for a minute and continue standing again.
