[|Human|] Hi i have lower back pain now and then but recently my leg keeps going to sleep every time i sit down or lie down and when standing im okay. I have had an MRI scan but wont get my results back till January what can i do in the meantime to be comfortable whilst at work and home etc
[|AI|]  Dear patient Thanks for the question seem to have Lumbar spondylosis/lysthesisthe diagnosis of which will be confirmed after your MRI results. Here are a few suggestions1) Flexion Mr 500 mg twice a day. U can increase to thrice day but make sure u don't have allergies to the medication or do not have a liver condition2) Ibuprofen 800 mg SOS if the pain is very severe3) Physiotherapy if possible4) Warm compression to the area of the back will give much needed relief5) Try and sit on a semi hard surface while working. It shouldn't be too cushion. Also make sure the chair you sit on has lumbar support hope you feel better
