ower back started hurting about 3 days ago and progressively got worse, I took one of my oxycodone 30mg pills and went to sleep. I woke up about 4 hours later in pain again, with a stiff back, sweating, and a fever . I took another oxycodone 30mg and went back to sleep. Then woke up again with the same symptoms as before except my temperature was higher, I had a severe headache , I was sweating bad, and my throat was dry and irritated. I ve slept almost all day and night for the past 3-4 days. What could cause this?
Hi there, Thanks for writing in. Your symptoms of sweating, headache and Chat Doctor.  Stop taking oxycodone. I would suggest you take an over the counter pain medication like paracetamol or broken for pain relief. Apply pain relief gel like diclofenac gel or voting gel. 15 minutes later apply hot fomentation on the back. If there is still no relief, I suggest you visit your doctor. Hope this helps.
