I have had pain in my mid back for 3 days now. It started on the right then went to the left and is now back to the right. it feels like a very tight miuscle knot. But when I breathe or tae a deep breath it hurts allover front and back. I am a 53 year old woman. i had a subastious cyst draine on Monday and it refilled and had to be drained again on Friday. I am taking Keflex 500 mg. for the infection. I also take blood pressure, anxiety and cholesterol medication daily.
For back pain you have to take some painkiller like tab kilos or tab attract twice daily after meals along with tab shall 500 mg or tab toscal-gem once daily after meals with tab rant ac or cap Gomez twice daily empty stomach at-least one hour before any meal. As you are an elderly female I suggest you to take painkiller not on regular basis but only when your back pain is unbearable or disturbing your routine work. You can also use holdup gel or powergesic-plus gel for local application. It is also very beneficial in relieving the back pain and give you some comfort. Apart from these you can also go for some physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist. Also, you have to sleep on a plain surface because it is a good practice in case of back pain mostly in old age patients.
