Excruciating Pain, Pain Goes Away While Sitting, Returns While Standing. Treatment?
my husband has been in excrutiating pain for the past four weeks he had an X-Ray a week ago Thursday but the Dr.'s office says they still have not received it back from the hospital, I have called the Dr. twice speaking to the receptionist and asking for the Dr. to get in touch with us or let her know what we should be doing next as he said my husband may have to have and scan, but we are not getting anywhere calling the Dr. as no information is coming back - I know there is a clinic in Vancouver and I wonder if I should take him there to get some info as he really is in a bad way and as I said before this is now a month he has been like this, sitting down the pain goes away for a while but everytime he stands up the pain comes back.
Get MR I scan done for the spine to find out any lesion,as the pain comes while standing,goes off while sitting.Meanwhile,take muscle relaxants along with NSAIDS for a few days,may be 3-5 days.
