Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain
I m experiencing severe pain all through my back for 2 days now; I m only able to stand and go about normal activities for about 15 minutes or so and have to sit down but the pain still continues. Just got through with a UTI and off antibiotics since Wednesday...should this be a medical emergency?

Hi,
Most of the times such type of pain is not serious but the sudden onset of such type of pain is always needed assessment.
You may go to the ER to get an x-ray of the spine done just to be safe to see for any gross problem in the bones of the spine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
