Avatar f tn I have osteoarthritis in my back and hips. The physiotherapist has given me exercises to help with the pain. Best thing is to keep active, if you can. Hopefully the ortho will help, and a rheumatologist, like I have seen, will help you cope with the arthritis.

5536514 tn?1373500002 I have had serious back pain in lower region, and it is scaring me. I am 65 and I am afraid my bones are falling apart. I have osteoarthritis. I also experience bone cracking in my neck. The same for my knees. I can almost tell when it's going to rain. The back pain starts as soon as I get up in the morning. After I have taken a muscle relaxer it is still there but only slightly. I do not want to become dependent on pill. I have hepc and cirrosis of the liver.
Avatar m tn My question is whether anyone can tell me if osteoarthritis in the lower spine can cause grabbing, debilitating pain that causes the patient to cry out it is so severe. These pains act like pinched nerves, but MRS and Neurological testing shows no nerve damage from the spine. The regular arthritis pain increases gradually when the patient is walking and prevents walking altogether after about 15 yards. The grabbing pain is additional to the regular pain. The only relief for the pain is sitting.
Avatar m tn ‘Osteoarthritic changes of the lumber vertebrae’ refers to degenerative arthritis of the lower spine, with narrowing of the lower few intervertebral disc spaces; as the cartilage which cushions the bones in the spine (vertebrae), as they move against each other, becomes progressively degraded and damaged. ‘Line of weight bearing falling anterior to the sacral promontory’ would indicate an abnormal spinal curvature which could be the cause or the result of osteoarthritis.

Avatar f tn Losing as few pounds can cut the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis by 50% for some women. Although OA typically affects the knees, your hips, hands, lower back, and neck may also be affected. Always ask your doctor before doing any exercise! Warming up with gentle stretching can help get your body ready for your workout. Gentle stretches such as side bends, shoulder shrugs, arm circles, overhead stretches, and bending to reach (but not touch) your toes are all good warm-up exercises.

Avatar m tn I got an mri scan just before Christmas, which showed the two lower disks in my back were bulging, the doctor told me to walk everyday to fix this problem, but one month on and the pain is ten times worse than it was before, I have been experiencing a continous spasm in my back for 3 days now, and can't so simple things, even walking is a chore. I am at a loss of what to do about this.
Avatar f tn Pain in the groin area can be from hip or lower back problems, especially if you a degenerative arthritic condition (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis). Because of that, I would suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor, who may like to order imaging (xray) of your hips and lower back to see what is going on with the bones. Depending where in the groin the discomfort is, there is a possibility of it being a hernia.
Avatar f tn I have been having a lot of issues with my neck and back. My symptoms started when I was 22, 7 years ago. It started when I woke up one day and had this pressure on one side of my neck, right under the base of my skull and behind my ear. I had this constant feeling of needing to stretch or crack my neck all day. Well this feeling never went away. Eventually I got the pressure on the other side of my neck as well.

Avatar m tn I have what I would consider to be relatively minor lower back problems caused by degeneration - the standard aging process. I am 58 years old. About once or twice a year my lower back muscles tighten or even spasm and then I go through a period of one to two weeks of recovery. Getting up from a sitting position is difficult, but once standing I have no problems walking. Since I have no problem or pain when walking should I continue to walk?
Avatar m tn s length, the piriformis muscle area being an alternative to lower back impingement. Check it out on google. Regardless even if something in your back isn't showing on the MRI start with some gentle exercises. Ask the specialist about piriformis muscle syndrome and take care.
7486852 tn?1410352184 I have osteoarthritis in my knees but I need a to have my hips, wrists/hands and back looked at as well the pain is disabling.. The pain in my feet, shoulders, and ribs are more of an uncomfortable feeling than actual pain, although it does get worse with movement, and the other places that hurt, hurt constantly even if I am just sitting, standing, or lying down, although lying down is when its the least painful.

So bad I've been limping for 2 weeks now the doctor said it's normal but didn't help with what I can do to help it I rest & doing light exercise to make sure I'm not walking too much or sitting for too long but nothing helps. My partner massages it& I sat with frozen veg on it as it was swollen. Today it was so bad after laying down for an hour I couldn't walk.

Avatar m tn My sister, 61 years old, has scoliosis and severe osteoarthritis in her lower back. She endures debilitating pain. Since she is an alcoholic, she is not a candidate for traditional pain killers or opioids. 1. Would Baclofen be a possible treatment for managing her pain? 2. Is it possible that Baclofen might have a secondary, off-label, benefit of being a possible treatment for the alcoholism?
Avatar n tn Well, yeah, squats are good for one part of the body, but make sure you do them correctly with proper posture because they can be very hard on the lower back otherwise. But the poster wants, I think, to tone the whole body, and so needs someone to propose a whole body program.
Avatar m tn If the dr said to do those exercises it would be to help you loosen that part of your back up. When the dr gives exercises like that it could very well be to help you in the future to avoid more problems. If you are doing that without his knowledge, yes you could cause more problems, even permanent problems.
