A friend complained to a Dr. about pains in his back just below the left rib and burning sensation in the legs.... the legs become chilly at times. The Dr. recommended an X-RAY in the back and the following result was given. He met another Dr. with the result who then prescribed some drugs. Unfortunately, he could not met the particular Dr. that recommended the X-ray. That's the problem with government hospital.

Pls who can recommend a better treatment for this. Thanks to all the Doctors in the house

1. There is loss of lumbar lordosis
2. The vertebral bodies, disc spaces, and posterior elements
3. Prevertebral soft tissue shadows are unremarkable

Hello @LudaChriz

Compliments of the season to you.

I read one of your comments on a topic; “Lumbar Lordosis” where you mentioned that you’ve been able to get solution to yours.

I’ve been suffering with this lower left back pain since 2020 and my X-ray results typically has the same explanation as yours. I was given some pain meds, injections and Diclomol gel. I’ve been using them since then but I relapse a lot and i don’t seem to be getting better.

I would be very grateful to connect with you or if you could please put me through what worked for you. Thank you & God bless.

Though it looks long,from 2020 to now,but what some Nigerians don't understand is that there are some ailments that relapse and would not totally resolve.
These ailments are common with back issues because of the natural wear and tear the back bones,ligaments and muscles undergo.
Some are age related,naturally and for these one may just need to be managing the condition with pain reliefs and other supportive care.
Abroad,some people are on daily drugs for these conditions for donkey years if they don't want to undergo surgical intervention,which itself sometimes does not guarantee full success.
You may need to take something stronger for the pain for a long period.
The other option is to see an orthopaedic surgeon to see if there is a surgical option,if the condition persists.
