If pain develops suddenly and is severe, such as from an injury ( fall) and if pain and symptoms (eg, weakness) progressively worsen you should seek medical attention.

Question

I'm really worried about my wife. She recently had an X-ray of her lumbosacral spine, and they found she has sacralization of L5S1. Her back pain isnt constant, but when it does flare up, it's really intense and hard for her to handle. What kind of treatment would you recommend for something like this?

Question

I've been having some issues since I had surgery to repair my Achilles tendon. My body seems to be retaining fluid, I'm gaining weight, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath, which got me wondering if it might be CHF. But my cardiologist says my heart's doing fine, and my pulmonologist says there's no sign of COPD or any respiratory issues. All my liver tests have come back normal too. They're pinning my breathing problems on my weight, but honestly, I feel like the weight gain started after the breathing issues. Could it be possible that something went wrong during my surgery that's causing these symptoms? My foot's still painful too.

Question

My relative's been dealing with Bone TB in the back, specifically the spine, and he can't walk now. He's been on medications and injections for about 17 days, and he's eating fine. Is there any hope for a full recovery? The pain in his back is pretty severe, even though he's taking Rectac 500 to help with it. What more can we do to help improve his condition? I'm really concerned.
