Lately my mother has been complaining about Neck and right hand pain, when checked with our family doctor he consulted for X-ray after which he updated that the bone marrow has rubbed which is common in this age will be treated with medicine and asked to not use high pillow henceforth after the consultation she started using low pillow but the Hand pain has increased along with some sensations. Please help does it need any special consultation or what why to tensed about it.
Lower back pain from 2months - X-ray done -initial findings no nerve compression or disc issue -concluded muscle spasm. From X-ray spine is completely straight due to muscle stiffnes and the complete body load is coming on spine hence the pain. been advised for physics therapy for a week to relieve the muscle stiffness. Now after 1week physio also the pain is persisting. To clarify once again o don't have radiating pain to leg. After standing still for 5mins the pain travels from lower back towards toward front upper thigh from sides forming a C-Curvature path from back to front via sideways and ceases. I have taken pain killer, muscle relaxants , hot packs , physio , Multi vitamin tablets.
Pls advise the next steps !!
My father's age is 51
He has been diagnosed with slip disc (between L4 and L5)
I have attached the MRI reports
He is having unbearable pain that starts from lower back n goes till left leg
He is not able to sit even for 10 sec tingling and pain starts
We have shown one spine surgeon
He told us to take meds for 3 week n if condition doens't improve then proceeds to surgery
He has given
Ultracet
Pan - D
Gaba neuron (NT 400/10)
Even taking for 10+ days there is no major improvement
We have shown to 2nd doctor for second opinion as it is feeling so much risky for operation
And 2nd doctor said don't take so much meds
And he told to take meds for 6days and stop the previous med
He prescribed
DFZ 6mg
If no improvement then have to do surgery
So now i m confused wht should I do and whom should I consult
Is surgery is the only solution left for my dad?
He is having high blood pressure, diabetes and taking meds of that too
Whom should I consult i want assurance and more discussion
Recently, left thumb injury and as per X ray confirmed bony mallet finger.
Is it corrected by 5-6 weeks of normal splint use or it needs a surgical procedure!
