Hi,Welcome to healthcare magic. After going through your query I think your husband is suffering from muscular pain due to injury. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). It may take a week time to relief. It is possible that x rays could not detect slip disc and minor fracture of the bones .Indeed slip disc is not seen in x-rays. However you can get his MRI done to detect these .I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query.
