For 3 weeks have had middle back area, pain migrating to right side where there is small swelling with numbness and slight itching. No pain in the swelling area but rather under it. Initially, I was put on Tylenol and Tramadol 5 mg for pain...second week changed to Motrin 600 mg and Hydrocodone, pain & swelling still there.
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorYour history may be suggestive of some boil could be there with infection, do not use steroid, if it is infection then with steroid it might get flare up, I would advise you to have some antibiotic (Amoxicillin) would be the best choice 500 mg thrice day for pain and inflammation you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day, if this is not responding to it then better to get it examined by doctor, have nice day.
