Suggest Pain Medication For Chronic Back Pain And Arthritis
My boyfriend has been having chronic back pain for several days now and it seems to be getting worse. His docotor took x-rays and found arthritis, however, the pain is constant and getting worse with each day. Meds don't even touch the pain. Thoughts on how to relieve his pain aside from drugs?

Hello,
I had gone through the case and found that he needs more test like RA factor, ESR and CRP.
He has to take medicine and can go for physiotherapy for pain.
After pain subside do yoga and exercise.
Take calcium rich diet along with Vitamin D3 once a week for 3 months.
Hope my answer will be effective for you.
Thanks
