I have been experiencing back pain for 15 days after running on a treadmill, which gets temporarily relieved by applying Voveran gel; what medicine should I take for complete relief?
Your pain is likely due to a muscular strain from running. Since Voveran gel (diclofenac) provides temporary relief, an oral anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen (400 mg) or Paracetamol (650 mg) twice daily for 3?5 days after food can help reduce deeper inflammation, provided you have no history of stomach ulcers or kidney issues. However, medicine alone won't offer a permanent cure. You must rest from running, avoid heavy lifting, and apply warm compresses to the area. Once the acute pain subsides, focus on core-strengthening exercises. If you experience numbness, tingling, or pain radiating down your legs, please consult an orthopedic specialist immediately.
