Is Morphine Tablet The Right Medicine For Back Pain?
my husband has had all sorts of tests to see what is wrong with his back and the doctors he has see says that there is nothing there. So why is he in such pain? He has not fallen or broken anything, but his right leg has extreme pain shooting in it most all the time. Last night, it made him stop dead in his tracks and not beable to take a step or put weight on his leg. He has been diagnosed with chronic lower back pain, and shingles, but the doctors don t think it can be anything. They say it is all in his head. The only thing that helps is morphine but he hates taken it all the time. What can be done? please help

Hi,
Do not start medicine like Morphine as this is habit forming medicine and once one starts this medicine he might have strong habit of it.
Advice him to take NASID medicine like Diclophen with paracetamol for pain.
Advice him to go for back extension exercises and light exercises like slow walking, swimming daily.
Ok and take care.
