I have dural ectasia and have constant pain and stiffness i dont have marfan syndrome what can i do for treatment or type of doctor besides pain meds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back pain / ectasia: A condition like dural ectasia can be very troublesome. Besides pain medication, people with this condition may respond to physical therapy, surgery, stimulator therapy or muscle relaxant treatment. Recruiting a physiatrist or PMR doctor and a neurosurgeon to your team would be helpful.
