Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. He might be suffering from Acute mechanical back pain. 1. Hard bed rest for 2-3 days 3. Hot water fomentation to back 2-3 times a day 4. Physiotherapy - Interferential therapy (IFT) to his back will help you relieve the pain 5. Avoid leaning forward, sitting for prolonged time or lifting heavy weights. These activities can increase his back pain.
Even after a week if his pain doesn't gets relieved, better to get him examined by an orthopaedician. He might ask to take an Xray of back
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
