Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Spinal pain: Pain of unknown origin needs to be evaluated by your son's doctor. Please see him/her. There are many possible causes for the pain. Trying to mask the pain w/pain syrup will only cause more difficulties in the long run. Peace and good health.
