hi my husband has on going back problems. he fractured his back last year. hes had another fall and is in pain. what pain killers will be best for him to take? hes stubborn and wont go back to the doctor as hes scared he will lose his job as he will be a liability.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. As far as the pain in the back is concerned, it can be secondary to the inflammatory response to the trauma or a fractured bone. You need to consult an orthopedic and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take a course of analgesic like ibuprofen or diclofenac(if you are not allergic). You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. Later once the diagnosis is confirmed, we can manage accordingly. Do not neglect. I hope I have answered your query, take care.
