Luis E. Cummings Jr., MD's Expert Contributions
  • Can I see my pain management doctor during the coronavirus?

    The Answer is YES, but this time is by telemedicine which means you have to call doctors office and will schedule a consult. READ MORE

  • Is my mother's leg pain sciatica or something else?

    Yes, it can be something else. That's why we need to do a work-up for lumbar pain, as it could be anything from Hip Bursitis, Facet joint syndrome, Sacroiliac artropathy, Disc herniation, piriform syndrome, abnormal musculoskeletal sprain. You should consult a pain management physician if pain is present more than 3 months or long-term narcotics. READ MORE

  • Long term narcotic use

    Constipation is a side effect of narcotics. They should not be prescribed for a long period of time because of the chemical dependance, addiction, and tolerance. The natural remedy is to start tapering down. Don't start using another medication for a side effect. READ MORE

  • My back hurts when I sit down. Why?

    The reason is a disc herniation compressing the nerve roots of lumbar nerves. READ MORE

  • What is causing my chronic back pain?

    The answered is NO. There are multiple studies relating all these NSAID'S with Cardiac infarcts, Renal insufficiency, and Gastrointestinal irritation to name a few of the adverse effects. Should consider work up for lumbar pain lasting more than three months. READ MORE
