What Causes Excruciating Back Spasms?
Hello. My husband is having back spasms so excruciating that he cannot move. This started Thursday, May 25. I am contemplating taking him to ER (if i can get him in a car). My question is what can the ER do for him that we are not already doing? We have been doing ice, heat and he has muscle relaxers and pain med from former back spasm issue. He has never had one this painful.

Hello,
Taking muscle relaxants like Thiocolchicoside and NSAIDs like Aceclofenac for short term followed by physiotherapy will be helpful.
You can go for infrared therapy and TENS. Back muscle strengthening exercises also will be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nishad BN
