What natural or otc medications will relieve severe lower back pain and severe legs cramps in the back of calves? discs are herneated and all nsaids not viable
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: If nsaids are not helpful, you've exhausted most otc meds. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is an option, but if that does not help please see your doctor for other options. Also physical therapy can be helpful, otherwise a spin specialist evaluations may be needed.
