I'm in Lamplaimat, Buriram . Thanks in advance. I've just got over a prolapsed disk which took three months to heal. The doctors wanted to operate of course but I know from experience that if you can get through it, three months or so should see you healed without an operation. No lifting, good posture, anti-inflammatory such as Myonal or Arcoxia are effective, as is Tylenol 6 hour. Heat pads work well, followed by some slight stretching and ice packs. If problems sleeping, try Gaba100 before going to bed. If you are able, back strengthening exercises such as bird dog do work well because it helps strengthen your back muscles. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) You need time for the pain to go, weeks usually, pain killers often don't touch back pain, be patient. Become very aware of what causes little tweaks and avoid Edited February 16 by scubascuba3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Whatever you do, do not take unknown medications from the "black market"!!! Potentially dangerous. Presumably the injection and tablets given by the doctor were anti-inflammatories. Since they did not help and the pain remains severe after 3 weeks it is time to see a proper spine specialist and have an Xray (at your age vertebral feacture is a possibility) and depending on what that shows, maybe an MRI to see what is going on. I know it is a long drive but I recommend you go to Khon Kaen and consult Prof. Sueachai Sae-Jung at Srinagarind (KKU hosputal) through their "Special Medical Center". There are reasonably priced hotels right near it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 A few days of ice, heat pad, and Tramodol work for me. Celebrex is good. With the medications limit the days. Don't sit or lay around all day move but don't lift or stress. Stretch lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, it is of critical importance to know what the source of the problem is. That will require the services of someone further up the skill set than a general practitioner. Any pills your GP gives you are masking the pain, not necessarily fixing the cause. Bear in mind also that prolonged use of anti-inflammatories comes at a cost to the kidneys. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
