What Is The Cause For Constant Lower Back Pain With Hot Flashes?
My husband has had extreme constant lower back pain for approximately 2 weeks. Looking at his back there are visible veins over the area that is in pain. The doctor we saw said it was a bruise, but it reminded me of blood poisoning as the veins are very visible and tree branch like. The pain has now moved to the exact same place on the right side. He has hot flashes also. He is vey leery of doctors and I am extremely worried about his health.

Hello mam
I appreciate your concern for your husband
well as far as branching of visible veins is concerned wherever there is inflammation this occurs but constant pain warrants the radiological examination of the spine if the pain persist for more then two weeks and also blood investigation to rule out any pathological cause of pain and get treated appropriately
if u wish you can contact again
till that time you can ask him to take some anti inflammatory medicines to help resolve the bruise and rest
