Suggest Treatment For Upper Back Pain
My wife has just had 13 weekly treaments of Taxol, sometimes with Avastin. Straight afterwards she started having severe upper back pain, mainly on her left side, and is only able to lie down with a hot water bottle. She is unsure about pain killers, fearing that they may adversely affect her stomach. Do you have any suggestion?

Dear; she can use antinflamatory as ibuprofen with muscle relaxant.The most important thing is to have MRI of the llumbosacral to check for spinal stenosis vs herniated disc
