currently 17 years old. have had lower back pain for some time. found a crack in my lower spine via X-ray. a chiropractor has to knock my back into place monthly.
What can I do to remove the pain or make it less sore? it's the worst when trying to sleep or when sitting in class. Please Help!
Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about your fractured spine, especially at such a young age. I'm assuming you know how it happened?! For pain relief, you need to see your GP. The strongest analgesia at the pharmacy, will probably be a mix of paracetamol 500mgs & codeine 15mgs, brand name 'Panadeine Forté.' I'm sure they'll have a generic form to make it cheaper. It may be enough for you.
please don't go to a Chiropractor, they can be dangerous, & not recognised in many countries. As your spine is fractured, the Chiropractor could make the damage much worse. You'd be better off going to see a Specialist in spinal injuries, your money would be far better spent that way.
Good luck!
Thank you for this!
