From personal experience I can say that lower back pain can be caused by a variety of problems. Relief from pain can also come from a variety of things such as applying heat, cold packs, pressure, bending and stretching. The problem here is that not knowing exactly what the problems are you can do more harm than good.
Only your doctor through the use of some non-invasive testing can tell you exactly where the problem lies. While waiting for these test, such as X-rays, CAT scans or MRI’s your doctor may prescribe medication that will make your wife more comfortable.
If your wife is in terrible pain I would suggest taking her to a hospital emergency room or a local urgent care center. If she can wait to see your family doctor, call and ask for an appointment at their earliest possible time. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
