Suggest Treatment For Pain In Muscle Tendons
Question: I believe I have again, @ 53, torn tendons in muscle abbs. Hurt them once b4 as a teenager from sneezing. How long will it take to Heal? I do not want pain killers, the ibuprophen is not as effective as it was 1 week ago when I twisted the wrong way on muscles already vulnerable from overdoing it shovelling. Thank u so much, The pain will not let me lie down in bed.
Brief Answer:
You may have hair line rib fracture
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think there is chances of rib fracture or a muscle tendon injury in abdomen. Pain during coughing or sneezing is proof of this . This pain takes some time as ribs moves continuous with respiration. So healing is very slow. Usually it takes 1 month to one and half month for pain to completely relieve. I would suggest you to get chest x ray to confirm the diagnosis.Till then you can follow these steps.
1.Tablet Etoricoxib 90 mg one OD.
2.Volini gel local application.
3.Hot water fomentation.
I hope these step will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks

In too much pain for xray. I have ITP, not allergies, medicine makes me sick. Antibiotics require treatment for all kinds of yeast infections, diarrhea, and exhaustion. I ripped tendons as a teenager, proven by xray, is this second hit in the same place have to b worse? All I did was turn twist to the left 2 c gas tank. Muscles sore from shoveling too much. So, please and thank u, do you think it has 2 b worse? I will get sicker in the hospital. Too weak for sickness surrounding me. Thank u for everything. PLEASE, try to speak of my pain now.
Brief Answer:
If you do not want x ray then take tablet
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your condition. If you do not want x ray it is ok. You can continue line of management as advised by me. You need to take rest. Muscle relaxant like myoril or myospaz will be helpful for you. I know taking too many tablets is difficult for you but it is must for fast healing. So take Etorixoxib and myoril tablet. Avoid jerky activities or travelling or bending forward. Also avoid very cold temperature.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
