The ER sent him a prescription for a higher dosage of Hydrocodone and another medicine to reduce inflammation and acid reflux. 

The hernia made his compression fracture in his L1 vertebrae worse, so he has to go to his back doctor appointment on Wednesday and hopefully they can relieve the pressure soon. 

The hernia caused his stomach to go up into his chest and caused acid reflux, and that’s why he won’t eat or drink.
