Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain After Suffering Mild Strokes
Question: My husband had his aortic valve replaced in 2007. He had a mild stroke 2 years ago. He is on warfrin, atrovastin, atenenol, and baby aspirin. He has been having severe lower back pain all day. He has been coughing and it is hard for him to catch his breath. Should I take him to the emergency room or wait and try to get him in to see his Dr tomorrow?
