I just pulled his shirt to rub Lotion on his lower back and there are two red spots?help please Doctor: HiYou must take him to ER for X-rays and treatment not to miss major injury to spine, fracture or sprainsHe should take hot fomentation, apply muscle relaxant gel and have complete restriction of movement out of bed for acute condition to subside.Avoid chiropractics absolutely..Advil tabs may be given after meals and chloraxazone tabs for pain and muscle relaxation till he's seen by orthopedician/ER doctorsBest wishes
