lower back pain

[aicute12]

Hello mga sis,

I was confined sa Manila Doctors last week due to back pains. As in, umaakyat lang ako sa LRT tapos biglang sumakit, kaya need ko pa mag ambulance para madala sa hospital. Naconfine ako 9 day, bnbgyan lang ako ng madocs ng celebrex at PT lang. Jusmio, nagpadischarge nalang ako na sobrang sakit pa din ng likod ko. Para akong matanda na hindi makaderecho ng tayo, tapos i can feel numbness sa legs ko. And to think, 81k ang hospital bills nakakainis kase wala namang nangyare sakin na maganda. Till now masakit padin siya.

San po ba maganda magpa second opinion?

Sis ganyan din na feel ko last day... Sobrang sakit talaga as in. Ne rreach ko lang [textspeak!] cover ng bowl kasi weeewee ako... Tapos biglang may tumunog sa buto ko sa lower back. Ayun... Tiis ganda lang ndi ko pinansin pero ungot nako ng ungot na masakit talaga sya. Tapos pag nag lalakad ako parang ndi normal. Parang hindi pantay kasi pag nag straight body ako sobrang sakit na mapapapigil ako sa pag hinga. Pero i still manage to go to work still pero pag nag lalakad ako sobrang sakit kya dinala nako ni bf sa clinic. Mapaka walang kwenta ng maarteng nurse that time! Grrrrrr... Binigyan lang ako ng mefenamic at salonpas. Until now medyo masakit parin na tatakot nga ako kasi baka mamaya magising nlang ako ndi nako maka tayo! Eh dami ko pa naman na babasa na sakit ng mga taga callcenter mga ganto back pain. And worst na nabasa ko na baldado na sya... kasi dahil sa lamig at for long hours of sitting and uncomftable chair...


Anyone who can suggest good doctor who accept HMO near pasig.

Thanks...

@aicute12 - Hi sis!! It's very sad to hear that after spending 81k, your back pain problems were still not resolved.  Regarding your back pain, the pain medications should have been adjusted if they were not lowering your pain scale.  Either dosage should have been adjusted or a different medication was given or a combination of medications should have been given.  I have recently been diagnosed with Acute Lumbar Strain with which my symptom was mainly lower back pain.  I had difficulty moving and there was weakness and numbness of the lower extremities.  I suggest that you consult any other specialist within your area (better if it would be an Orthopedic Surgeon or Rehabilitation Medicine doctor) for a second opinion on your medications and if you really need the Rehab sessions.     Usually acute lower back pain resolves with bed rest of 5-7 days, compress 3x a day and pain medications unless otherwise a serious condition is at hand..

I used to suffer from a really severe backpain due to the nature of my work wherein I have to sit for long hours. It reached a point wherein I would already have to hold the bars of my bed to be able to get up or flip to another side. But when I started using this health corset just after 3 days the pain is gone. The tourmaline on the corset helped to correct my back and increased proper blood circulation. Super bonus talaga yung pag wala ng backpain ko coz I got the corset to flatten my tummy. been using the corset for almost 3 weeks now and never had backpains anymore...

I was a low back pain patient before, was diagnosed to have slipped disk. I had lumbar traction and physical therapy for 3 months. I also took Nerve Fix and Chondroitin capsules. It also helped that my doctor advised me to strengthen my abdominal muscles to counteract my back muscles. Important pala yon. Right now, pain-free na ako.

sinong doctor ang magaling pag dating sa lower back pain? thanks!

sis

depende na din kasi sa cause

it can be from spinal problems

or kidney problems

or blood problems (which will  later affect the excretory system dahil hirap na sila to filter)

meditation problem din pwede (for those very sensitive people) yung over awakening of the kundalini nararamdaman nila

pwede din posture.

Ooh!! Ive had this just a month ago. It started sa lower back pero mas intense yung pain sa may left side. I thought probably mali lang yung higa ko sa gabi or baka kasi sa posture ko (hihi! *guilty ysmile) until dumating yung time na araw araw lumalala ng lumalala yung pain tapos nagrradiate na sya pataas pati sa butt pababa... And konting galaw ko iniinda ko yung pain.. I can't bend down on my waist, eh before i can do that without any discomfort. I got scared kasi baka nga slip disc. So i had lab workups baka daw kasi sa kidney or UTI. I had xrays too.. then brought my film sa POC. They found out i have mild scoliosis, as in small angle lang daw. but then again it doesnt matter anymore kasi im old na, hindi na maggrow and most probably hindi yun yung cause ng pain ko kasi when they made me stretch and do some exercises, they said Im still flexible. They just found out na yung lower spine ko naka arch masyado. parang Lumbar lordosis, if i remember it right and that the muscles along my spine are way too stiff. pareho tayo sis gurlygirltoo, they also gave me exercises to strengthen my core muscles to push my spine back into position and suggested to get a back massage atleast 2x a week. One session lang, relief! YEY! Ngayon, wala na yung pain. well, meron pa din whenever I miss my massage therapy.. pero tolerable na parang pain lang pag magkakaron ako. hehe..

Sa Rehab or Ortho doctor kayo pacheck up lalo na kung feeling niyo dahil sa wrong posture kayo nagka back pain.

[jidhel]

good day. how are you na aicute12? we have the same situation, sa manila adventist naman ako around 80k din. i went home with the same pain. next plan is to continue the pt at home. i hope i will be back to my normal life. wala rin sila nakita e.

After I injured/hurt my tailbone early this year, I had to undergo therapy for almost half a year and be on bed rest. Ang hirap kasi minsan kahit paghinga, kumikirot. Buti na lang nakuha ng therapy yung back ko. Fave ko yung kuryente while may hot compress.

Sis try ninyo ang Brilliant Mineral Oil and Power perfume....

[missythel]

suffered from this one too...
had an xray, negative result but still with pain so nag pa MRI (lumbar spine) ako.. ayun nakita na may problem ang L4-L5 ko.

so may orthopedic surgeon- Dr. David Cabatan reco me to undergo PT for almost 3 months... well, it really helped a lot kahit na masakit sobra ang mga stretching... lumbar traction for me is painless.. nakahiga lang naman ako

btw, merun ako lumbosacral instability, lumbar spine imbalance.. merun daw ako factory defect sabi ni doc.. over and above ang spine curvature ko.. it doesn't have to do with aging and weight gain though

i haev recurring lower back pain as well. i'm looking for a good ortho doctor that I can consult with, di ako kasi happy sa previous doc ko... and also kung may marerecommend din sana kayong rehab doctor. thanks!

[mama7]

ano kayang klase ng back pain meron sa akin..palagi masakit sa umaga yung lower spine ko,parang may ugat na naipit lalo na pag madiin yung pisil sa lower spine..minsan parang abot sa paa yung kirot pero yung pain pababa sa paa di gaano maramdaman,mas masakit talaga yung sa part ng lower spine.wala naman ako problema sa pagyuko,lagi hirap ako sa umaga bumangon kahit inaayos ko naman sleeping position ko..

I had backpains since 2008. I feel it everytime i am sitting in the front seat of our car. Akala ko it's because of the chair nakukuba ako kaya sumasakit. I just ignored it. We changed our car in 2011, wala naman akong ganung feeling na masakit ulit. Then last year lang, nagpalit ulit kami ng car, then dun ko ulit naramdaman yung back pain. (lower right). Tapos parang i can feel something sa loob ng tummy ko pag nakahiga ako then turn to my right, napupunta dun then when i turn to my left napupunta naman dun. parang gumagalaw talaga. i googled what im feeling and saw na marami ding may ganung weird experience. pinacheck up nila pero walang makitang anything. Tapos after several weeks nawala na yung gumagalaw parang nagstick sa left side ko. Tapos evrytime someone touches my lower right stomach, it hurts. pero sandali lang yung pain. Ganun din sa lower back ko, masakit din when touched. Pag matagal akong nakatayo sumasakit nadin lower back. Almost a year na na ganun. Now, i also feel like may something inside my lower right tummy. takot lang talaga ako magpacheck up. Pag nagbend ako parang may nararamdaman talaga ako. pero aside from that wala akong nararamdamang ibang symptoms. may naka experience din sa inyo nito? as much as possible kung ano man to i want to heal it naturally, mga herbal meds lang. May kinalaman pa kaya sa spine to or other medical condition na? i tried gallstone cleansing na thinking na baka gallstones yung nararamdaman ko pero its still there.

Better consult an ortho and have an MRI done. x-rays will only show so much, better if MRI talaga.

[m_lim]

nasa magkano ang MRI?

Ako sis, super sakit na ng likod ko. what MRI ba? After ba ng treatment, should I buys a new mattress?

[Pink_Sugar]

yung back pain ko kapag nakahiga ng flat. Tapos di kaya ng likod ko pag malambot yung bed dapat super firm... Pero dipa ako nagpapa consult.

Just recently had a lumbar facet joint injection until now di pa rin ako makakilos ng maayos.  Still waiting for my physiotherapy schedule.
