I lifted a heavy box about a week ago.Didn’t hurt at the time. Next day I was in a lot of pain, since then it’s a kind of dull pain in the lower back area.
If I sit in the same position for a while then get up I get a shooting pain in the back and reduced mobility.Met a friend who is training to be a doctor and he said it sounded like a compressed vertebra and it would get better by itself and I need just to take painkillers.any advice?thanksJ
NOTE**I am only speaking for myself as a foot surgeon.
Whenever I discuss foot surgery with my patients, I place a great deal of emphasis on the post operative course.
There are several points I make: 1.
The foot is the only part of the body that gets cut on and patients expect to walk on it right away.
2.
Gravity is the enemy of healing.
The more one is on it too soon, the more one will swell.
3.
There is nothing magic about 6 weeks.
Sure one should feel better then than immediately after a surgery, but there are many variables to consider.
The procedures done, the age and health of the patient, the activities and compliance of a patient all are factors.
Almost always patients are surprised to learn these things which doesn’t surprise me anymore, but it used to.
Many doctors don’t explain the post op course or they underplay it.
I would rather have a patient not have an elective procedure done than come back unhappy.
I sleep better that way. So to those of you who take the time to read this, I hope this helps you consider your options.
Ask the doctor questions folks- it’s your body!
Has there been any incidence of a successfull cure for trigeminal neuralgia using the services of a chiropractor.
Read More Yesterday I accidentally tipped a table onto my bare foot.
I iced it right away and it doesn’t seem to be swollen but the most tender area is sort of “downhill” from the abraded impact spot.
What should I look into/look up in terms of keeping an eye on this?
Thanks
When I run the outside of my foot (from my heel to my pinkie toe) sears with pain, I have a normal arch- I think.
is there something I can do to aleviate the pain?
do they ever cut heel spurs out anymore and if so when or I just learn to live like this and will it get worse and are there any braces I could use in the day time the ones at night do help.
