HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is difficult to watch our children in pain, any mother would be hysterical.
If his current pain regimen is not working then he needs to be on alternative stronger medication. IN addition, he may need a repeat scan to be done as well if the pain is still severe.
This repeat scan is to make sure that there are no changes.
Other than medication and rest, there is little that can be done.
I hope this helps
