Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.You should get his Blood pressure checked again.Serum cholesterol also should be checked.A high blood pressure and cholesterol will also gives a back pain.Uric acid also gives it.So these parameters if excess then should be controlled initially by diet like low salt diet for hypertension.Avoiding excess meat and fish products and drinking for high uric acid and decrease fatty food consumption for high cholesterol if he has.If not getting controlled by these measures then medications should be taken.
Other conditions causing back pain like osteochondrosis or lumbosacral disc herniation should be ruled out by doing a physical examination with orthopedician and an X ray lumbosacral spine if needed.In such case NSAIDs and physiotherapy will benefit him.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
