[|Human|] Hello... My wife, 50 yr old, has excruciating lower back pain and can t get out of bed currently. trying to find a way of getting her up to get her to emergency. Any tips as to how we could minimize pain to get her up? Already borrowed wheelchair once she is up.
[|AI|]  Dear-thanks for using our service and understand your concern about your wife. Back pain is one of the most common reasons to attend to the ER. It could be from herniated disc, spinal stenosis and acute or spontaneous fracture. She will need to have MRI of the back to find the reason, the treatment is basically anti-inflammatory as ibuprofen, muscle relaxant, heating pad, local menthol cream and short term of narcotic treatment if no improvement. If patient still with pain, then epidural block is the next step. I would recommend bringing her to her primary care doctor if still with pain for more than 72 hrs. I hope that my advice will be helpful Chat Doctor.
