[|Human|] I was in the emergency room with severe sudden back pain.  I was given Toridol and an Xray.  The results will be reviewed by the Radiologist on Monday.  I was given Percocet as well.  Neither medications have helped with the pain.  The ER Doctor said it looks to be lipping in my spine.  What will the course of action be should this be the result?
[|AI|]  Thanks for writing to us. Sudden onset back pain may be due to disc rupture. Lipping of the vertebral body indicates degenerative changes and called osteophyte formation. X-rays not of not much help in disc prolapse, and you may need to get MRI spine to diagnose the problem. Please consult a spine specialist and get thorough exam. It is important to know the pain pattern, any leg pain, previous episode if any. Till that period continue percent with muscle relaxant and physical therapy if possible. Take some rest which is crucial. Thanks.
