Hi, I have recently (the last 2 days) had bad nerve pain in my back when sitting and walking, particularly when standing after bending. The pain is constantly there and is similar in my buttocks and back of thighs.I am also experiencing strange feelings of extreme hunger, even shortly after eating and I feel a little like I have the flu but without a temperature.Getting a little concerned now but it is difficult for me to get to a doctor, do you have any suggestions of what it might be? and if potentially serious then I will have to make the necessary arrangements to see my GPAlso feeling nautious
Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are probably suffering from lumbar disc prolapse. It is confirmed by MRI scan. There are two treatment options. First option is rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend), neurotopics such as mecobalamin and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as tramadol three times a day after meals) is required. Omeprazole before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics. This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months. Second option is go for surgical operation(Discectomy). If you have also fever than you should consider possibility of flu also, so if you develop fever immediate attention will be needed. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
