Specializes in Pain Management

Back & Leg Pain: Any weakness in your legs? Any bowel or bladder changes? If you have no problems with your kidneys and because your symptoms are acute (new), you would benefit from short course of oral steroids x 7 days or toradol x 5 days. If Urgent Care is open (cheaper than an ER visit), go there so they can give you an intramuscular injection of either of these medications in addition to script for oral med.
