For the last four days I have a severe pain in my back, just below the shoulder blade. I feel the pain when I get up from sleeping or sitting posture. Coincidentally I discovered 2 days prior to the back pain that my blood pressure is high 150/100. Any advice please?

Hi If you have localized back pain with - no neurological symptoms like numbness, paresthesia, weakness in limbs etc, my advice is: - intensive physical therapy initially under supervision of a physiotherapist and then at home. - avoid forward bending, lifting heavy weights etc - take an analgesic like diclofenac or something which suits your body for 5-7 days - take muscle relaxant for same time as analgesic to relieve muscle spasm - ice packs at the site of pain, muscle spasm - local analgesic spray can be used but no massage is required let me know how you are feeling. I will actually ask you to get x ray of involved region of spine ( ap & lateral) and send reports across to me so that I can advise further in a better manner. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance

You have to take rhus tox - 30 / 5 drops in little water thrice a day for one week. Revert back after one week with feedback.
