[|Human|] my husband had a bad fall yesterday in the bathroom he hit d floor with his lower back in a sitting like position and a bit supine like position. he went to look for a doctor and had an xray. he had a history of slip disc. he was complaining yesterday bout his lower back aching. i want to ask, is it possible that xrays could not detect slip disc and fracture of d bones when indeed he had a bad fall? pls reply. thank you very much.
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. 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.
