I am 64 and did something about 7-8 days ago, by lifting something too heavy, and strained my back, or pulled a muscle, or worse, at first didnt feel anything.  Kept thinking it would get better, but has gotten worse last 3 days, can hardly get up from chair, or walk without much, lots of pain.  Just went to urgent care, and there was a 3 hour waiting there, as there was so many people.  Will go again Fri or Sat.  Is it possible to get a 2-3 day prescription of Vicodin, or some other strong pain medicine?  1-10, pain is a solid 10.  my doctors office is closed today and tomorrow,  thanks, Ron
Dear user, I really understand your concern. For your severe pain (10-points as you said means that is the worst pain ever you felt) I would prescribe just two shots of Sol. Diclofenac (intramuscular) in first 8 hrs, followed by Advil 400 mg when needed in the first day, and three times daily for 1 to 2 days. Applying ice, rest and physiotherapy will help to rehabilitate. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Wish you good health!
