I worked in a shop cum godown for 3 years from 2017 to march 2020. I lifted heavy objects at approximately 800/900 kgs p/ day. Sometimes it was more 1200 kgs. In sept 2018 I had lower back pain and I had pain on bending my neck, while sitting, laying on bed, getting up frm bed. I went to a local doctor. She prescribed me painkillers and told me to use hot water bottle and also told me to consult an orthopedic surgeon. On using hot water bottle for 2 days I got relief. I didn't consulted an orthopedic and kept on doing my work. After 15 days I had severe pain on left upper buttock area. I was not able walk more than 10 mtrs. I consulted an orthopedic surgeon. He told me my nerve was compressed. He prescribed me some medicines along with painkillers and pantoprazole. He advised me for p.t also. After 5 days of p.t. I was still not able to walk more than 10 mtrs. Than the doctor advised for p.t. For 2 times a day mor/ eve. Than after 5 days I was able to walk and got some relief. He kept me under medications for 5 days more. During lockdown, I again lifted 20 ltrs water bottles for 2 months. I used to do some exercises in morning also including forward bending. Now a short of hole has formed in my spine. Sounds of cracking comes from my knees and ankles. I have pain in my knees. Sometimes sound like" khat" comes from lumber area. I am feeling very weak specially in my lower body. I think some vertebrae is dislocated. Can I get relief frm pt. Pls advice.

With the information of your work nature and duration, you have over stressed your back for a long time. You have not mentioned your age? The symptoms of weakness only in lower body arises from spine pathology. Which will b well seen on mri of the spine. However certain vitamin deficiency may also mimic the way you are feeling. Physiotherapy only might not help this time.

You have not mentioned your age but I suppose it is between 40 and 50. You seem to be over exerting your body specially back and knee. With age all bones and joint grow old and the sound on movement is its reflection. You should get your x-ray knee ap and lateral view and x- ray of spine also and consult orthopaedic surgeon. May consult me with details on this platform seeking the doctor code ndcc2f.
