b) FBS = 98 (Normal 110)
c) R-A Factor = 8 (Normal 14)
d) CRP =1 (Normal 6)
e) URIC Acid =5.98 (Normal 7)
f) ANA (Anti Nuclear Antibody) = negative
Doctor Said that all is Ok except URIC Acid. as per my age it will be less than 5.
He Prscribe me Gabapine ME,Skelebenz 15 for 20 days.
So, what is the problem ? any internal Problem like Kidney, Stomach etc ?
The appropriate evaluation involves an MRI of the lumbar region L1-L5. Preferably using a 3T machine, although a 1.5 T is acceptable.
The problem is generally chronic, although the pain will "flare" at times. It will get worse.
Motrin or Advil may be helpful. On a short term basis, to relieve pain prednisone is useful, although inappropriate for long term use.
Initial treatment involves approximately six to ten sessions with a rehabilitative specialist, who, after evaluating your MRI, will prescribe specific exercises to relieve compression. This will be the best money you ever spent.
You will have to restrict your lifting for the rest of your life, and when lifing always take care to lift properly.
A tens device is often prescribed to relieve pain.
The pain does not usually respond to opiates.
Avoid riding in a truck where there is "up and down" bouncing. Sitting on an inflatable cushion may help.
A new procedure involves injection of ozone into the interstitial spaces.
Surgical resolution involves a procedure called a laminectomy, where a segment of the cartilidge impinging on the nerve is removed.
