Although a niggling back pain might trouble
quite a lot of people yet it is often quite conveniently ignored until
it takes on gigantic proportions and starts troubling the daily course
of work. Once it is started, only certain methods can help you get the
relief.
Here is a list of things that can help
you get early relief from the back pain.
Bed rest is absolutely
essential, especially in the case of acute back pain for at least 48
hours or till the time it subsides.
You can use heat or ice packs
at this time as it may really prove quite beneficial.
Medication,
if it has been recommended by your physician may relieve symptoms.
Sometimes
traction treatment in the hospital might turn out to be quite effective.
While other times epidural injections containing anti-inflammatory or
pain medication can also be tried.
Back pain surgery is to be
considered only in the worst possible case scenario. If conservative
treatment fails to control pain or neurological symptoms, then only go
in for a surgery. And before going in for it, it is a good idea to take
the opinions of several neurosurgeons and orthopedics.
Best of
luck!!!
