don't worry, I super kia si

sometimes a bit too much, made myself and people around me stress unnecessarily 😅

at one point, doctors said I am hypochondriac, sent me to talk to a shrink (psychiatrist)

one of my neighbours is the exact opposite of me

if I tell him about my back pain, he will probably pass a bottle of this to me and say boh tai chi one lah..

 

 

And that is to apply not consume...or maybe not...😅

Yup, most lower back pain will go away after a while (maybe with help from Arcoxia and Pregabalin), if it doesn't, then next will be escalation to orthopedic + physio.

 

if u need pregabalin, u already have neuropathic (nerve) pain from spinal root compression.

Hopefully his case is just muscle (doesn't seems like it), or degenerative disc without nerve compression.

that's the next step if I am not getting better

there is no pain shooting down my leg

the pain is a palm size area on my right hip

I had lumbar MRI 4 years ago as part of the investigation of a nerve pain on my ankle

nothing unusual at that time

If Right hip looks like it’s radiating down .. likely lower L5 -S1 area

 

common

I read his story many years ago, hypochondriac people won't miss it 

as I read again just now, it reminded me of my secondary school classmate

he shared with me earlier this year his wife passed away due to lung cancer

it started with a back pain

after his wife passed away, he see open

travelling around the world with his second wife now 😅

this is his last message to me, sibeh shiok

if it doesn't go away (and you are open to surgery), then seriously consider the mri.

It may be too serious to let it naturally heal/go-away

I tried many cocktail of painkillersL anarex, codeine, tramadol, arcoxia, lyrica, and even had acupucture at sgh pain center. But it was too far gone and needed surgery.

Also dunno isit years of taking all the above that cause the kidney to be damaged.
