<s>[INST] Hi, i suffered from Potts disease at D12 and L1 level 4 years back. Howvere it got cured after a period of 2 years. Now a month back i started doing cardio and picked up weights upto 10kgs. Now my back is again paining and i feel less sensation in distal part of right leg. Nolw i have left the Gym .. i went for an X-ray but it was O.K. Now should i just take rest ? [/INST] Hello, Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from chronic backache. It may be due to weakness of muscles and bone and vitamin and trace element deficiencies specially vitamin D and vitamin B 12. Your old pottdisease made your back slightly weak. Back exercises, Cartilage D once daily, NURSING GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (DICLOFENAC 100 MG SLOW RELEASE TABLETS) give relief. Sometimes vitamin D deficiency can aggravate this so serum vitamin D test is advised if it is lower than vitamin D supplementation will be required. Avoid long continuous standing. Sit in a straight posture. Eat milk, fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. You need to do MRI TO RULE OUT other causes. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care. </s>
