How Can Severe Pain In The Lower Back, Knees And Shoulders Be Treated?

I fell on my kitchen floor this morning, triped kind of over a box in the dark and landed on my knees and hands. I don t have any tylenol, ib-profren, begining to feel lots of pain in my lower back, knees and shoulders all i have is some 07/2017 meds. I have and was wondering if they would help the pain. Ranitidine 150mg ,Loratadine 10 mg, and Naproxen Sodium 550 mg.?

hello,
i can understand your concern. You can take naproxen for pain releif as it is an anti inflammatory medicine. take ranitidine prior to taking naproxen as this pill prevent gastritis due to it.
loratidine is for allergies, so you need not take it
if the pain is very severe, or if you are unable to stand or move, it requires x-rays to be taken to rule out fractures.
apply ice over the soar area. a topic diclofenac gel or spray can be used for pain relief.
None the less, along with naproxen i advise you to consult your doctor to rule out fractures.

Hope i have answered your query. Wish you a speedy recovery.
