Hi I am Amit, 29 working in IT company in Bangalore, I am suffering from back pain and neck pain for quite a long time around 2 years when it started, have seen few doctors and done MRI as well (which was fine), it looked like posture issue and weakening of neck muscles. They advised few exercise which I did and got lil relieved but it was never 100%. From now past 2 days I have too much of pain (never before) and pain spreads in my shoulder and head. Its difficult time for me. Can someone suggest what sud I do. Cannot concentrate in work, moving head is a big problem.

Hi lybrate-user, Usually in this age back pain appears due to weakness of par-spinal (back) muscles. Of course, the solution is to strengthen the concerned muscles, but it should be without exertion. Weakness of the muscle will lead to spasm and pressure to the tissues involved which may develop further tissue damages. Wrong posture is the major cause for continuous injury. Take steps to correct it. Dehydration will cause muscle spasm- so drink 2.5 litres liquid daily. Cold exposure to be avoided to protect muscle tone. Constipation and distended abdomen will give extra pressure to back muscles. Vitamine D 3 helps in absorption of calcium to strengthen bones and other tissues. Sun light is source of Vit. D. Further Ayurvedic treatments are available for support. Navarakizhi, Pizhichil and Vasthy may be suggested accordingl for a long term solution. Exercises for back muscles may be practiced with consultation with physio or Ayurveda doctor. Resting position: on a plain firm and flat surface, preferred on a wooden surface. EXERCISES: 1) Lift the leg without folding knee- 5 each alternatively 2) Fold the knee towards chest alternatively 5 each 3) On the shoulder position, fold the knee towards chest 5 each one after the other leg on both sides. 4) On the stomach position, lift opposite limbs together, alternatively 5 each.
