Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Any history of associated cough/ high grade fever?
Any history of trauma or fall?
Upper back pain or lower back pain?
Any stomach pain?

With the brief history you have mentioned, the possibilities I can think of are sprained(pulled muscle) back, peptic ulcer, gastritis, pleurisy or pneumonia.

Kindly provide further details for a more thorough assessment.

I would advise you to visit a doctor for a detailed examination and evaluation.

In the meantime, drink warm water at regular intervals.
Apply volini (diclofenac) gel at the site where it hurts. 15 minutes later apply hot fomentation intermittently. Do this routine 3 times a day.

Please do not take so many pain relief medications. You might end up with side effects like gastritis. Take pain relief medication after food .

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
