Severe pain


Q:
Age: 51   Sex: M   Concern: L 3 and L4 fracture  

My fiance was diagnosed yesterday as having an L 3 and L 4 fracture, he is in excruciating pain and the ER doctor put him back to work today. Is there any thing he should know and what can we do for him and if the pain does not subside with the medication they gave him, should he go back to the DR. He does Maintenance and there is a lot of lifting. Any advice would help greatly. Thank you.

Well, it is impossible to say depending of the kind of "fracture"
