Hi,I injured my back playing sports. Severe back pain with a fever that developed a week later that lasted a few days. A month later, my back pain is not as bad but now the fever has returned for the past 4 days. I take ibuprofen for both the back pain and the fever, but as soon as the meds wear off, both the milder back ache and the fever return. Why is this taking so long to heal and why the fever. I had a urine and blood work done 2 weeks ago and everthing came back normal. Please help!
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Looking to your query it seems to me that your entire problem is not related to injury. Long fever is not supposed to be due to injury. You should do MRI LUMBAR SPINE DONE TO RULE OUT INFECTION. Hope my answer will be of some help to you.
