<s>[INST] My husband has severe pain in his back above is right hip. It s started suddenly 3 days ago, no known injury but does lift heavy pots of food. He is nauseous and has lost a bit of weight from the pain. His doctor said it was all ok just take nurofun. This does. It help. He has had no tests and his pain is getting very very bad. He does appear to warm up during the day and it feels a bit better. Any suggestions please [/INST] Hello there! Thank you for asking, I want you to know that pain for 3 days in very acute and nothing to work about. Some muscle spasm explains it, As lifting heavy weight is what you mentioned. Now Your doctor is right, Continue the medicine prescribed and add some skeletal muscle relaxants like Tizanidine Use some massages take some physio therapy, some rest and avoid heavyweight lifts. And if the problem persist for more than 2 weeks see the rheumatologist for Better assessment. Good lucks Khan </s>
