 Difficult to follow arguments: muddled, disorganized
 Personal comments/considerations:
This case study is all about the pathophysiological condition of Mr David who has been suffering
from lower back pain for some years. In the detailed tests and diagnosis, it has been found that the
internal molecular pain mediators like ATP, protons, neurotrophins and chemokines did not work
properly (Da Costa et al., 2017). A small tumour which we are generally considered as cyst has been
found in her spinal at her MRI report. Thus here are some medical treatments are offered to Mr
David. Most of them are medicinal treatment. Those medicines are analgesic which reduces the
pain which he is suffering with. Those medicines are paracetamol and some antipyretic tablets.
Those are generally taken but mouth. But these analgesics have some side effects as well (Chen et
al., 2016). In such a case, he might suffer from some gastric problems as well. He did not stop
regular exercise and cycling as well. Those will be helpful for good mental health. Thus in my
opinion in the case of Mr David only pain reducing analgesic is not the only treatment for his
disease. His treatment must be profound.
