Patient Questions About Knee and Back Pain: Advice and Management Options
I’m 28 and have numbness in my calf and foot after back pain. What should I do?
Answer:
Numbness and tingling after back pain could signal nerve involvement, like sciatica. Medical evaluation with imaging, such as an MRI, can help determine if nerve compression is present and guide the next steps for treatment.
I have lower back pain spreading to my left leg with numbness. Any advice?
Answer:
Pain radiating from the lower back to the leg, especially with numbness, may be linked to nerve irritation. Early diagnosis with imaging allows targeted treatment such as physiotherapy or non-invasive therapies.
I’m experiencing lower back pain due to ageing and degeneration. How can I improve it?
Answer:
Age-related changes like degenerative disc disease are common. Maintaining activity with guided exercises, physiotherapy, and medical treatments can help manage pain and maintain mobility.
I started having backaches in my 50s. Is this normal?
Answer:
Yes, it’s common for back pain to emerge in your 50s due to natural wear and tear. Regular assessment and preventive care like strengthening exercises can help manage it.
I’ve had chronic back pain for years. How should I treat it?
Answer:
Chronic back pain requires a tailored approach, including medical evaluation, possible imaging, physiotherapy, and non-invasive pain treatments available at clinics like The Pain Relief Clinic.
I’m active but still told I need other exercises. Why?
Answer:
Even active individuals may benefit from targeted exercises that strengthen core and back muscles, which help prevent and manage pain better than general exercise alone.
I have severe back pain and sciatica despite treatment. What’s next?
Answer:
Persistent symptoms warrant a thorough re-evaluation, including reviewing imaging and considering additional therapies such as non-invasive medical technologies or guided physiotherapy.
