Suggest treatment for back pain after injury
Patient: My husband fell off the roof and he hurt his left ankle and his lower back. His back is severe pain, is this ok or should he go to the hospital. He does not want to go. His ankle is sprained bad but not sure if broken. It s his back that is more painful, he landed on his foot then down on his butt. Doctor: if i were you i would go to hospital. there can be minor fracture which can only be ruled out after xray for details examination. even if there is sprain in ankle he must need immediate medical attention. dont delay in trial and error procedure which can lead to further complication. just to rule out problem visit your GP or hospital ASAP
