Asking for Self, Female, 30 years old, Lahore
Hi there! I was a few years back diagnosed with osteomalacia. But any pain I felt was mild. But since a year ago I have been suffering from immense backache. An x-ray about a year ago revealed gentle scoliosis. But the doctor at the time said its negligible. My vitamin d levels were at 20. The doctor I went to see just now has prescribed brexin(nsaid), movax(muscle relaxant), opt.D (Vit-D) and neogab (?). All to be taken for the next 7 days and then get a follow-up. I feel like this is too much. Like something is bound to work. Do you think I should go ahead with this?
Yes off course it's a combination of good medicine
Yes off course.he has advised you the best treatment
Go ahead for 15 days
If not recovered MRI needed
Yes go ahead with the medications
medicine are usually necessary for few days in case of pain but for vit d
deficiency u should take medicine for a long time till u get normal vit d

Thankyou very much doctors. I was recommended for an MRI by someone and received my report just now. There is a central disk bulge at one place and a disication & shortened disc height at another place. My endocrinologist reviewed it and told me I need to go to an orthopedic for advice with this. Any advice that you could give me would be highly appreciated. Or recommend a great doctor with a low fee cause I'v been unemployed for almost a year. I really don't like the orthopedics that I'd been to before. I'd been through three in the course of this past year and a half. And none had told me to get an MRI. One of them actually implied it's all in my head and I should get counseling and they both told me that vitamin D at 20-23 was just fine and did not even tell me to get phosphorus etc checked like how my endocrinologist had had me tested and diagnosed osteomalacia almost 3 years ago even when at the time I did not have as much if any low back pain. At the time the orthopedic I went

... At the time the orthopedic I went to, gave me an overdose of vit-d which took my levels from 23 to 123 in just 2 months. I wonder what they'll say now that I take this to one of them.
