[|Human|] Hi,I have had an MRI scan done because of a constant backache. it showed a slight bulge between the L4 and L5. This was about 3 months ago. the doctor suggested just some pain killers. In the last one week, i have realised that the pain has increased. what do i do
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. After going through your query I think you are suffering from chronic backache. Treatment of back pain is exercises and analgesics (diclofenac SR). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as attract three times a day after meals) is required. Consulting with treating doctor is advised.  Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked. If it is low then vitamin D supplementation(weekly with milk) can be taken. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. I think your query answered.
