Brief Answer: For a prescription ,physical examination is must Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing I have sympathy with your suffering, my advice would be you may arrange a home visit from the emergency room(ER).Since, for a prescription you need a diagnosis and which requires a complete physical examination. I treat my patient with acute backache considering it is because of muscle spasm by hot water fomentation,Gel.flexabenz,tab.thiospas A8,and tab.urgendol-P along with tab.tums. Most of these drugs are prescription only. You may take help from physiotherapist to overcome backache. They give shortwave diathermy along with TENS therapy for backache. Take care and wish you early recovery. Hope this information suffices. I shall be glad to answer any further query. Regards Dr.chugh

Brief Answer: Call the Emergency room (ER) they will help Detailed Answer: Hello It’s good to see you I want to help you, but it is not possible because you need physical examination especially after having car accident. You may require x ray of spine to rule out fracture. As we discussed earlier you may contact emergency room (ER), they will help you or you may contact your local doctor. Take care and I wish I could of more help to you Regards Dr.chugh
