What Is The Remedy For Acute Lower Back Pain For An Asthama Patient?

Hi, my son just called me from college (at 12:30 am) to say he has acute lower back pain that just started all of a sudden this evening. He has taken Advil but is in a lot of pain. He asked me what to suspect, he has had no injury or fall that he can remember. (I know he's was wondering if Meningitus (sp) or something starts this way). I know he is concerned because he called me at this late hour. He and I are stumped. He is a senior, age 22 and is not an alarmist. He has asthma and has always been very self aware and sensible regarding health issues. I am worried. Sorry I am going to have to check more before I use you, don't know how to evaluate the safety of your website before I give a credit card number. Hope your legit.

Hi,

I have gone through your query.
Your son had acute Lower back pain without any history of trauma. Then this might be a sprain, strain, spasm or muscle tear. Cause of these can include:
*lifting heavy objects
*sudden movements
*sitting or standing in one position for a longer period of time

Due to severe pain Advil alone is not giving any relief. I would suggest him to add muscle relaxant like Tizanidine. Avoid bending at back which increases the pain or he can have bed rest.
If pain doesn't subside, ask him to attend ER for intra muscular shots.
