Back Injury Due To Fall, Left-sided Waist Pain. Taking Ibuprofen. Muscle Damage?
Hi, I fell down the bottom of staircase, my foot came away from me and I landed with a thud on my back and bounced down last of steps. Was very painful, took I ibrobrufen tabs and am still going to work but still very sore. Don t think I have broken anything but left hand side at waist is really sore. Bottom of back also sore but not as bad as waist. I am quite plump at waist, so is this just damaged muscle. Thank you

It is a a case injured muscles with local inflammation
Apply local heat twice a day and take ibuprofen 600 mg three times a day for 5 to 7 days.
You shall be all right in next 7 to 10 days.
