Suggest Treatment For Severe Lower Back Pain

I am dealing with low back pain for six months, I haven t been able to get an appointment with my local physician. Last time I saw him he prescribed mehydrocodone. But it s not seem to be working. My question is should I go to the emergency room or wait until morning to see if I go to a local urgent care. I don t think I m gonna be able to sleep it s pretty bad.

Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic
After going through your query I think You are suffering from acute backache.Treatment of it is rest and analgesics . Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective. Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics .You can visit emergency as you have sever pain.You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
