Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lin Yunfei
After the onset of pain due to lumbar osteophyte formation, patients can generally, under a doctor's guidance, take oral medications to relieve low back pain, such as Anti-Osteophyte Tablets or Yaotongning Capsules. These medications not only help inhibit further progression of osteophyte formation but also alleviate pain. Patients may also choose anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for symptom relief, with commonly used options including celecoxib and meloxicam.
