I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing lower back pain. Since you have been taking Nucoxia MR Tablet (a combination of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a muscle relaxant) and Pregabalin, here are some additional steps you can consider for relief:
Physical Therapy: Engaging in guided exercises and stretches can strengthen your back muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. A physiotherapist can tailor a program suited to your condition.
Heat and Cold Therapy: Applying a warm compress or heating pad can relax muscles and improve blood flow. Cold packs can reduce inflammation and numb sore areas.
Posture and Ergonomics: Maintain good posture while sitting, standing, and sleeping. Use supportive chairs and mattresses to reduce strain on your back.
Lifestyle Modifications: Avoid heavy lifting and prolonged sitting. Incorporate gentle activities like walking or yoga, which can help maintain mobility.
Weight Management and Diet: If applicable, maintaining a healthy weight reduces stress on your back. Include anti-inflammatory foods common in Indian cuisine such as turmeric, ginger, millets, dals, and seasonal vegetables.
Stress Management: Techniques like meditation or deep breathing can help reduce muscle tension.
Since your pain has persisted for two months, it is important to consult a specialist such as an orthopedic doctor or a pain management specialist. They can evaluate your condition further, possibly with imaging or other tests, and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
If you experience worsening symptoms like numbness, weakness, or bladder/bowel issues, seek immediate medical attention.
