Hi, My father is suffering with Lumbar spondylitis. He became shorter than usual height. He buttocks became less flesh. He is unable to walk and also affected with Osteoporosis. He is feeling heavy pain 24 hours continuously. Could you please advice him for pain relief and recovery.
Hi, Thanks for your query. The general recommendations for Lumbar spine issues are as follows -- Usually 1-2 days of bed rest will calm severe back pain. Do not stay off feet for longer-Take rest breaks throughout the day, but avoid sitting for long periods of time.- Avoid lifting heavy weights as it imparts more strain on back-Change daily activities so that avoid movements that can cause further pain, especially bending forward and lifting as it will worsen back pain-Use a lumbosacral back support to stabilize & strengthen the back musculature- Use analgesics like Advil or alive and muscle relaxants to relieve pain and muscle spasm, as needed. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
