Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain, Headache And Nausea

Posted on Fri, 13 Feb 2015

Question: I went to a clinic yesterday because of severe back pain, headache and nausea. The gave me a couple of injections to settle the nausea, and also a pain reliever. Today, My back has been itchy and quite red and the area appears to be spreading a little. Do I need to be concerned about this? I take a lot of medicines to deal with my third bout with breast cancer. The clinic dr. was made aware of the meds I am currently taking.

urticaria

Hello
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern. Probably you have developed urticaria. Take an anti histamine tablet like cetrizine. This should help you.
It is important to confirm the diagnosis. Can you please upload a photograph of the involved area.

We are rather limited in our electronic commmunications here and I find myself unable to submit a picture. I have been taking benadryl, however rash is still spreading and developing hive like splotches. I am returning to the clinic today to have the doc take a look. Thanks for trying to help me.

Urticaria appears and disappear.

You must get a thorough investigation with biopsy done.
