Suggest Treatment For Constant Back Pain

I have been having ongoing back pain for the last several months, and when I saw a doctor he said it was only a strain. That was over a month ago and the pain and discomfort is only getting worse. Is this something I should go back to my doctor and ask for an xray of some kind?

Hi,

If the symptoms are getting worse then I would advise you to get an MRI done to rule out any problem with your spine. X-rays can be helpful in diagnosing a few conditions only.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
