Felt Pressure On Back And Popped During Shower. Having Severe Pain. What Could It Be?
Question: Son played football and felt pressure on his back yesterday and getting out of the shower today he felt a pop in the area and now has severe pain what is this and does he need medical attention immediately
Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Yes it is better to get medical attention at the earliest possible. That could be because of disc herniation etc.
Ask him to lay down on a firm surface. Give him a over the counter analgesic that is available to you. Call for help to take him to the doctor.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
