Hi,

I have read your query.

Usually back pain is managed with pain-killers till 1 month period. If it persists beyond 1 month, then further investigations are done. Since your husband has a bad pain I will suggest the following:

- Back pain can be due to many reasons. You should get x-ray lumbo-sacral spine done in AP and Lateral done send us report or discuss it with your doctor. Only then further management can be advised.

- Avoid heavy weight lifting pushing and pulling heavy objects, because it will further increase back pain.

- You can take medicine like painkillers + muscle relaxants by discussing it with your doctor. Your husband may need stronger pain-killers which are available on prescription only. He can try ibuprofen or naproxen till he sees his doctor.

- Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.
