I have been having chronic lower back pain for the last one year. Low vitamin B12 and D3 were found in my blood report. The X ray report shows L3 L4 L5 disc space reduction and degenerated disc disease with muscle spasm. I had treatment three times and every time after medicine and physiotherapy the pain comes back even after doing exercises and maintaining proper sitting in office. What can be done to get cured from this frustrating lower back pain?

Disc issues and vitamin deficiencies can cause prolonged discomfort. Since pain recurs even with therapy, a prolonged spine care plan might help like postural therapy, guided exercise, and vitamin correction. Sometimes a spine specialist opinion is needed.
Dr. Hema Suggests...
Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

Hello sir, I am 18 years old and currently in class 12. For the past 7 to 8 months, I have been facing problems with my studies. I am not able to remember what I studied an hour ago, and the same happens with other events like remembering someone name or the path I have travelled. This makes me anxious. My family is very supportive but has an old thought pattern, so it was difficult to convince them to take me to a psychiatrist. Finally, I went to Patna AIIMS and had a consultation with a psychiatrist. The problem is that after taking the medicines, I experienced vomiting, restlessness, sweating, and loss of appetite. Without consulting the doctor, my parents forced me to stop the medicines. The medicines were 1) Sertraline Daxid 50 and 2) Etizolam 0.25 mg. Now I do not have trouble sleeping or eating, but I still have the problem of forgetting things. I am attaching my report. It is impossible to convince my parents again. Please suggest the best course. Shall I take the medicine.
