<human>: Hi, I was getting sever pain in my back hence as recommended by a doc to a physotherapist. He did put me on diathermy for 10 min for 2 day unfortunately I was wearing a gold ring in my finger and a belt having a steel buckel but not tight to my stomach . The heating pads were on my neck and lower back having no metal between the pad n my body. I was pretty tensed if this would upset my body since I have heard diathermy is very bad. Pls advise
<bot>: Heloo patient, you may get MRI to ascertain disc position.  In my opinion you are having disc slip.  Advise taking magneto therapy treatment from a specialist.  Advice;---- 1. Place south pole of med power magnet on paining back.  2. Place small North Pole near thumb of both leg.  Keep this position 4 half an hour --B. D for 15 days.  3.  Chat Doctor.  Though all caution taken, but u may consult magneto therapy specialist.
