A member asked:

Back pain severe what can i do to ease it. so bad cannot walk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain specialist: I would suggest a pain specialist. Most back pain goes away on its own. If yours has gone on more than 8-12 weeks and is not geting better you need to see your pcp. An MRI would be in order at this point. A pain specialist can offer various injections based on the cause of your pain
