A member asked:
Low back/hip/sciatic pain for years. i was told to stop all nsaids due to erosion/inflammation in gi tract. does anything else reduce inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other approaches: There is now very good evidence that physical therapy and exercise such as yoga and pilates can be very helpful in treatment of back pain. Before embarking on a new set of pain medications, it would be prudent to be evaluated by a knowledgeable trained PT/instructor who may be able to address your issue.
