I've been having a tough time with this back muscle catch for the last three days. It's really making it hard for me to turn, bend, or even get a good night's sleep lying flat. I'm starting to worry because I have some family events coming up and I really need to be in good shape for them. Are there any treatments or home remedies you can suggest to help me out?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle spasms in your back. To help relieve the pain and improve your mobility, you can try taking a muscle relaxant such as Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 10mg three times a day. Additionally, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. For home remedies, you can apply a heating pad to the affected area for 15-20 minutes several times a day to help relax the muscles. Gentle stretching exercises and massages can also be beneficial in relieving muscle tension. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

My mom has been dealing with AVN in both hip joints for the past three months right hip at stage 4 and left at stage 3. She's 67 but otherwise healthy, no diabetes or BP issues. Some ortho doctors recommend surgery while others advise against it due to her age. She's managing at home with a walker and physiotherapy but has severe pain in the hip and under her legs. Is homeopathy a viable option for her condition?
While homeopathy may offer some pain relief or support for managing symptoms, it's not a primary treatment for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical care, especially when surgery is being considered. It's crucial to prioritize the recommendations of her orthopedic doctors and focus on managing the pain and improving her mobility with physical therapy, weight management, and possibly surgery if deemed necessary
