[|Human|] I have excruciating left upper back pain because of the cleaning job that I work on a daily basis...taking naproxen sodium is a joke...lidocaine patches the same...and, I am snapping at people all the time because I cannot stand this constant daily pain! Along with my other health issues...
[|AI|]  Hello, I thank you for using Chat Doctor . I read your question and understand your concern. First we need to know what is the cause of your back pain. The most probable diagnosis might be disc hernia. It Can be evaluated through a back MRI. The treatment for this is different depending on the stage of the disease. In acute phase you can have some bed rest for few days and take some tramadol pills. After that you can do some physical therapy and if the problem last very long you can have surgery. Wish you a quick recovery.
