What could cause back pain and spasms together with sweet-smelling urine?

Doctor's Answers 1

Hi, with your symptoms, we will need to rule out urine tract infection, urinary stones disease and sometimes vaginal discharge can also cause malodorous urine.

The very least you will need physical assessment, a urine test to analyse the cells in the urine ( which will also include glucose level) and a scan to rule out any kidney stones.

How to treat back pain due to lumbar and cervical spondylosis?

Sorry to hear about your pain symptoms - I imagine it’s quite troubling. Non-surgical management of neck and back pain can include pain relief, physiotherapy, strength and conditioning and also guided treatments such as nerve root or facet joint injections. It would be good for you to be assessed and see what treatments are approate for you. I would suggest seeing a Sports or MSK Physician for this initial consultation. Hope this helps.

What are possible treatments for leg length discrepancy?

Hi, Leg length discrepency (LLD ) is a fairly common occurence amongst the population. Management depends on a few factors, including: 1. Symptoms. Does it actually cause symptoms in the foot, leg, or back somewhere else. 2. The actual LLD. A 1cm LLD is actually managed by orthotics. A visit to the podiatrist will help the problem. They can custom make an insole to correct the discrepency in height (1cm), and wearing it should help the problem. There is NO indication for any invasive option at a LLD of 1cm. Orthotics are actually suitable for LLD till 5cm.
