Hello baboopu
Thanks for posting your query
You are suffering from Reumatoid arthritis & psoriasis and you had injury over lower back after fall from truck.
So you might have soft tissue injury over lower back or vertebral fracture.
You need a x-ray to rule out fracture.
So you have to visit an orthopaedic surgeon for detailed exam & x-ray as required. Mean while you should take absolute bed rest.
Helo patient,
Since it is a case of accident u may get X-ray n ensure is there any fracture.
In case of fracture go to orthopedic surgen.
if no frature, advice
1. place south pole of magnet to paining back.
2. massage with magnetic oil
Both steps u have to take, twice a day for 15 days
3. drink magnetic water
Report after 15 days, wish u early releif
