Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I've been experiencing pain that comes in spasms, and I'm unsure how to manage it. What can I do to help stop this pain from returning?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

To help manage your spasmodic pain, there are several methods you can try:

 

Rest and Positioning: Take it easy and avoid any movements that trigger the pain. Lying down in a comfortable position, perhaps with a pillow under your knees, can provide relief.

Heat Therapy: Applying a heating pad or warm compress to the affected area can help relax tight muscles and alleviate spasms.

Cold Therapy: Conversely, ice packs can reduce inflammation if there’s any swelling. You can alternate between heat and cold as needed to find what works best for you.

Gentle Stretching: Once the pain subsides, gentle stretching may be beneficial. Focus on stretches that loosen the lower back and surrounding muscles.

Hydration: Ensure you’re drinking enough water, as dehydration can contribute to muscle cramps and spasms.

Over-the-Counter Pain Relief: Non-prescription medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage your pain effectively.

 

If your pain persists or worsens, please consider scheduling a consultation with a doctor for a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

 

Thanks
