Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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?
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.
