two days ago she was involved in strenuous activities (long hours of cooking and sat continuously for 4 hours without proper support to her back) compared to the other days.
for last two days she is also having gastric troubles (passing gas)
as we live in germany, we went emergency room. she was given a injection of dexahexal im. and advised to take some painkillers (ibrufin).
its almost 12 hrs that she was given the above injection but can't notice any improvement.
