Have Bruising And Stiffness On Back. Having Stabbing Pain. Tried Cold And Warm Compress. What Can Be Done?
i have serious bruising and stiffness on the right lower side of my back. Pain when sneezing or hiccoughing. stabbing pain when getting up which moves across my stomach area when I am walking or turn quickly. Have tried cold compress and warm compress and ibuprofen gel. It has been over 36 hours now with no sense of relief. What else can I do?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may need to try oral anti inflammatory agents such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, aspirin, celebrex.
These agents should be used on a full stomach.
It would also be important to continue to rest the area for a few days and also the continued application of the ice packs.
I hope this helps

hello,
with your history it seems to be muscle sprain.
take muscle relaxant like myospas forte two times in a day and antacid, along with it warm compress.
warm compress will dilate blood vessel and increase local blood supply.
never do cold fomentation in back pain if no swelling.
avoid forward bending, heavy weight lifting, directly waking from supine position instead turn on side and then wake up from bed.
if pain not relieved in 2-3 days then you can consult physician
i hope i answered your query
take care
