Suggest medication for severe back pain
Patient: I went to er yesterday for ongoing back pain and the doctor would not prescribe any medicine. he just told me to follow up with the workers comp clinic next week. i have no medicine and my back is killing me. what should i do?. should i go back to er because the clinic is closed? Doctor: Hi, thank you for posting.I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.I think that your symptoms might be caused by spinal arthritis.To relieve pain you should use Acetominophen 500mg.You need a spinal X-ray, a fibrinogen test and urine test to confirm the diagnosis.The results of the above tests will determine the definitive treatment.Ask me for anything unclear.All the best.Dr. Behar.
