Back pain radiating to the legs along with fever is quite concerning. Pain that extends to the legs might suggest issues related to nerve compression, possibly due to a herniated disk or spinal stenosis. The continuous fever alongside elevated neutrophils indicate inflammation or infection somewhere in the body could be a part of the puzzle too.
Given the classical Ayurveda understanding of conditions affecting the back, an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system, is often a key culprit in such scenarios. When aggravated, it could manifest as pain moving throughout your body, especially a chronic one like what you’re experiencing.
But honestly, whith a temp of 38°C consistently, seeking medical attention from a healthcare provider is important in this case. It could be something needing additional diagnostics – ignoring it might be risky.
In the meantime, there’re some gentle Ayurvedic things you can try to soothe the discomfort before seeing a doctor. Warm oil massage can help, using sesame oil heated slightly and applied gently onto the lower back region.
Also, turmeric milk at night might aid to alleviate inflammation. Simply warm a cup of milk, stir in half-teaspoon of turmeric powder. It’s soothing and might help calm things down a bit.
Light stretches could assist with improving circulation and reducing stiffness but avoid movements that exacerbate pain. Ensure you are resting adequately and avoid any sudden twists in posture.
However, if symptoms persist or worsen, or you develop any new symptoms like numbness, or if fever increases, it’s vital to seek appropriate medical care urgently. The aim should always be to both address symptoms and investigate the underlying root causes of what you experience.
