Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my husband felland hit his back onthe backof the commode. he is in a great deal of pain, in spasms. the er x-rayed and said no fracture,but maybe cracked. they prescribed Hycodone, and a musc;e relaxer but it is getting worse. this happened Sunday and it is now Tuesday. Is it possbly broken and would it show up now when it didn t immediately?
Get MRI scan of whole spine done and send me the report, I want to see the present condition of vertebrae, intervertebral discs and spinal nerves.
Because pain is not subsiding there may be some serious problem in spine, so I advise that in addition to medication you should also take rest for about 3 days.
Thanks.
Dr.Singh.
